No. Doris is evil enough to qualify, for two reasons.


 * 1) She has a clear moral agency, as she was created to help people out, not brainwashing them. She seemed to enjoy this, as she liked helping the test subject. However, under the assumption that she was made to be "a slave to mankind," she soon decided to brainwash her test subject instead, even though she seemed to have been treated fairly by Cornelius. Her freudian excuse comes very weak compared to all of her actions because she decided to brainwash and rule the entire city, just because she assumed she was a slave to humanity. I honestly have no idea where the lack of moral agency argument came from.
 * 2) As for her being a generic "AI Is A Crapshoot", it's true that she was the mastermind behind Bowler Hat Guy, and wanted a bad future. However, what really makes her stand out for me is how she does so. She takes over the entire city, with all of the citizens being brainwashed and mind-controlled. They were shown to be doing things against their will as they were controlled by the Helper Hats, who were used by Doris. Some examples include the citizens being forced to work at deadly factories and dump out garbage into a fiery incinerator. The worst part of it is that she has her Helping Hats mind-control Lewis's entire family from the future, and force them to try to kill him as if they were mindless zombies. That last part right there about brainwashing the hero's own family to kill him against their will? That's the sticking point to me, so to me, she does well enough to stand out.
