Maybe. Yeah, human politics and justice systems leave something to be desired. But my worry was little bit beyond that. That the AIs would take all the meaningful work, discoveries and creativity away from us, leaving us just to amuse ourselves. Some people might be okay with that, but I don't think becoming pets is the best goal for the human race. If the benevolent AI ruler(s) restrained themselves to allow for humans to flourish, then okay. Assuming it could be constructed benevolently.

There is another threat when things go wrong (and they eventually always do) - no matter how horrible some dictator is, eventually he/she will die, and at some point things get reshuffled by war/revolution/some other more peaceful means. With AI, it would try its best to preserve/enhance/spread itself forever. And its best might be much better than our best...
