The UK already owns it. I’m pretty sure Terminator takes the name from the UK military satellite network. And SpaceX has launched Skynet satellites for them before so there is probably some agreement.
The NSA also already has a surveillance program named SKYNET, which uses machine learning. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKYNET_(surveillance_program)
