"Do you need an assistant? I understood my job here to be $X and $Y; but your need for assistance might justify further staffing or at least clarification of my job priorities" probably with more polite wrapped around it; thats about as far as i go that way.

I like the implications of the way you ask; we're not sure what "AI" is, if we have it yet; but we have an unspoken certainty that it will be a mute, obedient servant willing to put up with being used in ways we humans will not. So what we're after with AI isn't "intelligence", as much as "obedience?"
