Mind Material Reclaimation Act and Carl

So inspired by the question about the Reclamation Act and Battle Royale, what happens if Carl &/or Donut exit level 18. They own the world, and possibly the materials. Given the AI is already expanding its Zone way out, it seems to be using some of the seeds from the dead humans.

Could it be planning to help Carl and then try to get Carl to let it use the material for a takeover/growth?
