There's a popular dystopian Cyberpunk Anime, Psyco-Pass , which has an AI system controlling and analyzing the population (keeping the "peace") called the Sibyl System. The system can analyze a person and instantly determine their "Hue" (mood) and how likely they are to commit a crime. Spoilers are in the following link, the mystery behind the Sibyl System plays a significant role in the series http://psychopass.wiki…

Sybil in mythology just means "oracle", so that's probably the inspiration in both cases:

Without giving too much away (it's a rather good series, and the reveal is pretty well done), it also might have to do with the book Sybil about Shirley Mason
