If you only have 1 planet and own 1/4 of the galaxy, you run out of stuff to research after about 60 years. Then you get +5% bullshit techs.
well maybe an energy crisis would be more exciting and thematic.
The AI attacks the galactic stock market and hacks into power grids (like state-sponsored hackers do IRL), thereby reducing everyone's energy credits. If that leads to synth pops turning off, then that is part of the AI crisis flavor
Or maybe synth pops take resources instead of producing and if you decommission them then they do something nasty like take the building they are on with them, give neighboring pops unhappy ...
