>execute AIs on clients, and send their inputs along with players' inputs
That seems strange, you'd be sending multiple times the same AI's actions to the server, in which case you better be certain that it's deterministic, not to mention the security concerns. It seems far easier to execute the AI on the server and send its actions to each player, especially if it's a trivial AI.
