There are several examples of such computer behavior in airplanes today: TCAS, EGPWS, Predictive WindShear.
Great. Now extend that concept. Look further into the future.
Compute what the probable state of the airplane will be every 100 meters down the length of the runway.
Determine if any of those states are problematic.
Determine what actions need to be taken to avoid any difficult situation.

The human pilot will always be better than the computer at certain tasks.
