AIs will not be able to "see" the matrix. Computer networks/systems
will be to them what they really are - datastructures and code. To assume
anyhing more would be ludicrous. OTOH AIs will have a totally different
sort of intelligence and perception that we do, so their mental images
even of elementary things like a data structure will differ greatly from
our images.

How about a cube with "Utility X" written on it.
