Dread Empire's Fall: AI is restricted by the former alien overlords who feared Singularity.
Barnes Thousand Worlds has AI restricted (although less so) for similar reasons.
If Mass Effect counts (for me it definitely is a borderline case; new with old sensibilities or old with new elements; not sure) it also restricts AI.
