The Culture novels by Iain M. Banks basically have this premise. There are super intelligent AIs called Minds that are pretty much gods who run everything, and their civilisation (the Culture) is a utopia for anyone who lives in it. Minds control the ships, which sometimes have crews but they're described as "somewhere between passengers, pets and parasites" in terms of how useful they actually are lol
