AI government switching

[Dr Kellogg]

Is there a scheme what kind of government the AI chooses if given the possibility to switch government and what is its favoured government respectively?

Will the AI change their monarchistic / communist government even though Despotism is the only alternative?

I'm sure there is an equation built in that uses shield production, shield use, and tax revenue. As for factual basis, I've got nothing.
