I don't think Asimov envisioned a world where AI would be controlled by a clique of ultra-wealthy oligarchs.

As I recall, many of his early stories involved "U.S. Robot & Mechanical Men" which was a huge conglomerate owning a lot of the market on AI (called "robots" by Asimov, it included "Multivac" and other interfaces besides humanoid robots).
