Think that they have sapient AI ? I doubt it. Such AI would be scary for those who want to control everything and everybody. Not to mention such digital intelligent lifeform would be quite hard to even understand. At least with mimicking brain - neural networks are so complex like brains. Controlling it would be maybe less hard than controlling human brain but still...
Unless they wouldn't have technology being over 30-50+ years over known currently I doubt it. And even achieving that would need quite big scientific effort.
But without sapient AI the rest could work perfectly anyway.And THAT is really scary part. They don't need complete control over brain. There were published research about mouse brain suppression on those forum. Supress some sectors on the brain and even then results could be spectacular...
