the ai will only open warp points if it feels significantly cut off from the rest of the quadrant. if all that it is unable to access are 3 systems, i doubt it cares.

as far as i know, the AI will never modify an atmosphere nor will it build a ring / sphereworld, nor will it build a monolith. it may be possible to edit the AI planet types file and make them build monolith's on worlds with sufficient resource levels.. not sure though, Mephisto's probably the man to ask on that.

AI will, however, detonante the star of a hostile system. I learned this to my dismay when a fleet of 22 veteran dreadnaughts were moving through the system of an ally race when they were attacked by another AI. turned the sun into a black hole, and i lost the fleet.

shortly thereafter I constructed a genocide fleet to get a little payback, but i digress.
