Is artificial intelligence a ticket to Borges' Babylon?

As I tried to imagine what a world completely governed by unexplainable AI processes would look like, I was reminded of Jorge Luis Borges' "The Lottery in Babylon". In this story Borges describes how a simple Lottery eventually became a complex (and secret) institution. At first, like every other lottery, it defined which participant would win the jackpot. Over time every inhabitant of Babylon was forced to participate, and the lottery became more complex: people could lose (or gain) a job, a position amongst the nobles, the love of their lives, life itself, honor… "The complexities of the new system are understood by only a handful of specialists (…) the number of drawings is infinite. No decision is final; all branch into others."
