Sounds like a non-aligned AI.

  It essentially is a non-aligned AI. AIs don't need to be implemented in silico. Bureaucracy is by itself a computing medium too.

    That makes me wonder if someone has ever written a scientific paper proving that the bureaucratic processes in place at their company are Turing Complete. You can imagine some sort of Rule 110 cellular automaton being implemented in TPS reports.

      A cellular automaton over office documents would be a nice thing to try! That said, a proof of turing-completeness of bureaucracy is relatively trivial: FROBNICATION QUERY ID [#1234] 1. Requester data [bunch of boxes] 1a. (*) Details on stuffs [bunch of boxes] 1b. (*) Details on different stuffs [bunch of boxes] (...) 4. Additional documents - [Frobnication Registration #432] - [Frobnication Query #1111] -- (*) - Fill section a) if $something. Fill section b) if $somethingelse. With sections 1a/1b implementing conditional branching, and section 4 implementing storage.

      > proving that the bureaucratic processes... are Turing Complete It's called COBOL
