Actually Existing Socialist States.

"Bureaucracy is the administrative system governing any large institution, whether publicly owned or privately owned."
I mean, either they stay out of the lives of the people or they make all those decisions themselves or they hire a large class of bureaucrats to take these decisions for them. AI hasn't been around long enough to make it the bureaucracy.
By who? You just left this hanging, unsupported.
First of all, I reject the original premise that they control all aspects of life. Second of all, beauracracy is not the same as management, it's a group of career politicians enjoying the spoils of their own positions above everyone else. Lenin warns against it in The State and Revolution.
