Have you read much Asimov? You might enjoy the stories featuring Susan Calvin, the "robot psychologist" who is exactly the authoritarian you imagine. In particular you've reminded me of the short story "Robot Dreams."
If you care to read it, it's on page 25. (You'll need to register an account.)

I've read a lot of Asimov, from Foundation to the Black Widowers. But never Susan Calvin. Thanks for the recommendation.
Better knows as “I, Robot” and its sequels.
