I would think that AI is a great fit for Marx's goal of "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs", and as such a Socialist mayor would promote its use it to advance towards Socialist goals. Note: would, not should.

Is AI not in an important way from humanity's abilities, and is it not being used to help meet our needs?

So would this suggest we should take and redistribute AI capacity in some way...?

one in five children in the united states lives in a food insecure household. that has more relevancy to the “need” here than whatever you’re suggesting

The point you are arguing here is wildly antithetical to the entire concept of dialectical materialism. A child's analysis of Marx.

Nobody who isn't already falling for the "promises" of AI is going to fall for word games like this.
