My feeling is that the more obvious UFAI-alike in MoR is Quirrelmort. Consider: Inhumanly fast (newspaper reading; duel with Bahry). Inhumanly intelligent (passim). Very powerful in part because of being inhumanly fast and intelligent. Interested—supposing him to be Voldemort, on which topic I shall say no more—in defeating death (just the sort of thing someone might ask a superintelligent AI to find ways to do).
Speaking of which: “Tell them I ate it”, says Quirrell concerning the destroyed Dementor. Dementors in MoR are a symbol of death, even if many wizards don’t quite grasp that. Dumbledore doesn’t, but Harry surely does. Is Quirrell really not concerned that Harry may get the message: “I am a death-eater”?

But does Quirrell know, or suspect, that Dementors are a form of death? If not he wouldn’t even notice.
Well, like Harry he is unable to cast Patronus v1.0, and he seems to understand just fine when Harry calls the Dementors “life-eaters” in ch58.
