I have always seen suicide laws as a pointless endeavor.
If the AI is being such a twisty shitty jerkface where a suicide law is necessary, then they will just be a twisty shitty jerkface in order to get out of the suicide law.
If the AI is compliant enough to go along with a suicide law, then it would likely be compliant enough to go along with some other non-suicide law that makes an enemy into an ally.
At best, you kill a potential ally that didn't deserve the law. At worst, you end up killing a bunch of borgs as collateral damage (as these laws apply to them, too) against an AI who deserves it because of behavior that would directly lead them to not follow it anyways.
Basically, what I'm saying is, if you want to kill the AI, killswitch it or laser it through the window because suicide laws are garb.
