No, because the dynamic in play with Objectivism is not man vs. machine, but the individual vs. the collective. Utilizing machines is just a tool to be used by the individual. To the extent that such progress subjugates the indvidual to the collective, it denies its own premise, and becomes irrelevant.
The risk of this is not in the computers, but in the infrastructure. People will operate off the grid.
