The physical simulator Pixar used for the modeling of the balloons was 
designed to build in random but realistic behavior by the balloons, and 
in one sequence, some of the balloons break free of the cluster. That 
was not intended by the filmmakers, but they kept the sequence in the 
movie because they liked it.

The computer routine in charge of directing the balloons goes out on a 
limb and decides to release some of them.  This is liked and kept in the 
film.  Sounds like the first step to a computer director to me!
