Hal

 Hal

 HAL 9000 computer

After the film was released, fans noticed HAL was a one-letter shift from the name IBM andthere has been much speculation since then that this was a dig at the large computer company,[27][28] something that has been denied by both Clarke and 2001 director Stanley Kubrick.[1] Clarke addressed the issue in his book The Lost Worlds of 2001:

...about once a week some character spots the fact that HAL is one letter ahead of IBM, and promptly assumes that Stanley and I were taking a crack at the estimable institution ... As it happened, IBM had given us a good dealof help, so we were quite embarrassed by this, and would have changed the name had we spotted the coincidence.[7]
