I agree.

Our best technology at current require teams of people to operate and entire legions to maintain. This leads to a sort of balance, one single person can never go too far down any path on their own unless they convince others to join/follow them. That doesn't make this a perfect guard, we've seen it go horribly wrong in the past, but, at least in theory, this provides a dampening factor. It requires a relatively large group to go far along any path, towards good or evil.

AI reduces this. How greatly it reduces this, if it reduces it to only a handful, to a single person, or even to 0 people (putting itself in charge), seems to not change the danger of this reduction.
