Shhhhh, it a secret.
Edit: But yeah, the operations of an AI and the operations of institutions are incredibly similar, because while individuals within those institutions have a sense of morality, the organisation as a whole does not, and the more people are involved with an institution, the less it will exhibit signs of morality. An AI is just much faster about it, but the same criticism of an unthinking, amoral decision-maker like an AI are applicable to the overall capitalist system.
