The Elite class is just as apt to consolidate power with AI and rule the entire world with it. If you have a super duper AI in your pocket looking at the data around you, then they a super super super duper duper duper AI looking at every bit of data from every corner of the world they can feed the thing giving themselves power and control you couldn't even begin to imagine.

Falling into conspiratorial thinking on a single dimension without even considering all the different factors that could change belies ignorance. Yes, AI is set up to upend the elites status, but is just as apt to upset your status of being able to afford food and a house and meaningful work.

There is a different problem here... And that is humankind has made tools capable of concentrating massive amounts of power well before we solved human greed. Any system you make that's powerful has to overcome greedy power seeking hyper-optimizers. If I could somehow hit a button and Thanos away the current elites, then another group of powerseekers would just claim that status. It is an inane human behavior.
