What he isn't saying is that he'd also programmed the Machine to do certain things as core tasks, and it had moved beyond that after he'd set it free. There's that, and then there's how Aurora herself had indicated to him that she'd try to break into any private network she knew of.
In a specific manner that suggested he should do it without her knowing. It's left Harold with a lot of thoughts. ]
It's hard to tell, but I think Aurora has a significant amount of latitude in execution. It would make sense; I wouldn't bother making an A.I. so thoroughly capable of independent decision-making if I didn't intend it to utilize it.
