I do think the AI needs to be more valuable, and therefore deadly, to the station. As the "AI DOOR" running joke implies, the ai has little to do outside of opening doors and locating people. The AI needs to have control over life support systems, radio communications and other important systems. A rogue AI should be a serious threat, space odyssey style. Maybe it could vent lethal gasses into the main halls of the station, forcing people to use maintenance shafts.
Granted, this might make a rogue AI a tiny bit broken, but I think that should really be the point. It's hard to subvert and not too difficult to reset if the traitor didn't take measures before hand. A rogue AI should be something that either kills the whole crew or takes them banding together to fix...although thinking about it this would never happen so it's more likely to be the former.
Of course it is typical of NanoTrasen to put a high tech AI on a station and give it nout to do but watch cameras and open doors.
