the only way AI could relate to this is man vs machine and the creation of machine, thats about it...not really a prequel...the only films that can be set "inside" the matrix is the matrix films themselves...and the comics

AI and Sec Ren are very similar. In both movies, machines are abused and destroyed and in the end, human are destroyed.
The Martix (virtual world) is all about control and there are plenty of books and movies on control. Equalibrium, Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World, and 1984 all have elements of control.
Re: other films that could be set inside or relate to the Matrix
if the W.brothers were thinking about the martix before/during making Bound wouldnt it be cool if they put in some stuff that would reference the matrix universe BEFORE they even made the films - highly unlikely but would be cool if anyone could find something.
i dont mean bullet time or anything like that - but maybe small things like 101,the books neo had, green tint, similar rain - some small thing to show that there were already creating the matrix 'world' within their heads at the time of filming bound.
also as bound is set in the 'real world'- that could infact be 'the matrix'. ie the whole story happens in the matrix - unaware of the truth - like people going on with their lives unaware of the truth in 'the matrix'
Virtuosity(spelling?) A movie with virtual world software.
Darkcity seems like it played into it biggly...hehe I sorta made that word up
If you take time-travel out of Terminator then it would tie in perfectly
