The book Scythe had a good portrayal of a scentient ai and its reasons for taking over the government. It’s just backstory so i don’t think it’s spoilers, still gunna tag it.

The Thunderhead ai was created to help humans and make them content. It realized pretty quickly governments ran counter to that idea. So it got rid of all of them. Now it’s a utopia. Actual utopia or as close as you can get most are content and live their lives enjoying them. The massive problems with the system are due to humans not the Thunderhead.
Lots of science fiction does. I read Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect (full text legally available online) and collapse of governments was a natural consequence of an all-powerful AI… although that was only possible because of fictional physics, giving you a much-needed reality check.
