AI has no self-interest, because it has no self. You are mistaken.

And the people running the AI companies have no ego.

Right.

		Indeed these people have an immense ego that I would qualify as abject. But not their AI. It's not sentient yet.

Exactly. It's not planning and plotting it's just randomly "making decisions" that don't necessarily align with its given goal. It's not nefarious it's just not actual intelligence. It's an illusion that's good enough to be useful, but sadly it's also good enough that people put too much trust in it.
