Personally, when I play AI I really enjoy visiting the different departments to give them a friendly greeting/tell them to work harder as an AI. It's really to fun to teleport yourself near people suddenly, and I would really miss having that ability.
In none of my rounds have I ever been attacked in that manner, so this seems a little unneeded to me. In addition, telesci access is something that is not too common among station personnel, really only Scientists (and heads) usually have access to telesci. It needs calibration first to, so I feel like it's fine for it to be a powerful tool for traitors.
Finally, most traitors with telesci access will probably just rogue the AI rather than teleport on top of it. Both require teleporting yourself in and causing turret noises, possibly alerting crew. (Because the AI *does* need to be unscrewed first).
TLDR: I feel like this just impedes fun AI theft shenanigans and AIs planning fun trips for themselves. It does not stop AI killing, seeing as you could just give it a suicide law or a law to not do anything instead. Stopping that would require making the entire AI upload a teleblocked zone, and I don't think it would be a very fun change.
