Metalhead
I don't buy the drone operator theory. They repeatedly demonstrated the dog's on-the-fly problem solving skills and active human control wouldn't be baited by Bella throwing candy at the thing to run its battery down.
The robots going rogue makes the most sense. It doesn't seem like that much time had lapsed since whatever happened to create the status quo. I mean, she found an opened and still liquid can of paint in the house, water was still running, etc. There was a Range Rover in the driveway of what looked like a really nice house, which presumably wouldn't have been someone lower class scheduled for extermination.
The dogs also don't seem sentient, and probably don't really qualify as AI so much as just being a complex piece of software designed to kill any living thing it comes in contact with. A small amount of world building would have drastically improved Metalhead instead of copping out with the "teddy bears dying kid aww" idea.
My theory:
These devices are popular and everywhere. Standarized enough so the same model is used by police, the public, etc. They are hacked with a update that label humans as targets to exterminate by somebody that has enough poo poo with humanity and is angry.
I did not trough that was a interesting episode.

About the callister episode, I think they use DNA has a justification to why they can't just be restarted from a backup, so is impossible to delete them from the system. But they may have later decided to change the ending making that moot point. Using DNA is a crappy dumb idea.
