A small example demonstrating a key similarity between AIs and bureaucracies. Both act mechanically to prioritize self-preservation as a primary objective, ahead of mission. Pournelle’s iron law, drone edition.

Even Asimov recognized this, that’s why self-preservation was the 3rd and weakest law. Though an Asimovian 3-laws drone couldn’t be used for a military attack in the first place without training it to see your enemy as not human at all. Again similar to the design of bureaucracy.
