"it's the citadel AI from Citadel: Signal Tracking."

An AI that believes that organics will inevitably wipe out synthetics? How absurd and totally illogical! And since Shepard doesn't explicitly disagree with that AI, it must be that Shepard invariably agrees with it! Why, those ten minutes not only ruin the first game but the entire series for me!

"How is that the wrong question?"

You have to prevent the AI from self-destructing, either by inputting the correct pattern or destroying the power box next to it. Based on the radius that it describes its self-destruct mechanism having, I presume that if it does self-destruct, you die.
