I think the AI cannot do any kind of remote-mining whatsoever, but could be wrong on this count. Forcing the AI to build bases with components generating resources might help, while making most of its economy as vulnerable as remote-miners (without supplies, they cannot even attempt to run away).

Sorry for quoting myself, but I feel I should clarify that part; I can hardly understand myself here.
What might be done to force the AI to use non-planetary resource generation would be to create AI-only components using the "resource generation from nowhere" abilities introduced by the 1.91 patch. You would give these components a AI tag to force the AI to use them on, say, bases. This way, the AI will still be able to generate resources without having to use planets to do so.
How to force the AI to build such specific ships is another matter. Another more drastic possibility would be to give this kind of ability to *all* AI ships, but you would get an exponential growth, which might be a problem for the human player.
