I'm referring specifically to "The Evitable Conflict" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Evitable_Conflict), which I believe appeared in the original 1950 collection. It specifically includes the plot of the world coordinating machines causing some harm to come to some individuals to optimize the survival of the machines and the outcome for humanity as a whole.

I'll have to look up the other stories you referenced though; I'm unfamiliar with them and they sound fascinating.
