[Terminator] Considering Skynet was a Cold War AI, why does the US military keep developing it?

Basically, I guess we already have to accept the Soviet Union lasted a decent amount longer than in our universe, I’m guessing at least until the mid-2000s; that being said, why is this AI always developed? Don’t get me wrong, I think the US military is bad, maybe it’s just always crafted as a weapon to dominate competitors regardless of when the Cold War ends? Maybe it was created in our period of intense competition between the US, China, and Russia? Why do you think the US always develops Skynet no matter how far into the future the plot moves?

The funny thing is, even with the original reason for building Skynet (coordinating nuclear strike options with a speed and precision a human couldn't manage) fading in importance, AI remains a serious target for military planners. Right now, world governments are being swamped in sensor data; drones, satellites, gun cameras, and many more sources of information are feeding into a pool that no human being can reasonably process. If the military had an artificial intelligence that could be fed all this data, process it in real time, and make intelligent decisions based on that data, it could be a quantum leap in intelligence and tactical capability. Of course, for the AI to work as intended, you need to give it access to *everything*...
