The word is Egregore. An entity comprising of other entities, yet having goals of its own, independent of the goals of its components.

Corporations are egregores, governments are egregores - and our track record of aligning them to our interests is pretty poor, so why should AIs, another and smarter egregore, be easier to tame?
