You actually lower the chance of getting a yakuman when you riichi....
since it is AI so I guess it's okay (albeit pointless, cause yakuman is the highest hand you could got, and a riichi is pointless)
riichi is good on normal hand, since it gives you a yaku.
But riichi on yakuman won't give you any additional score (yakuman will always be 32.000 non-dealer, 48.000 dealer, no matter if you riichi or not)
And riichi is making other players (that would ussually just give a passing glance at your discard) a warning that "I'm in tenpai!! Look at my hand!!!" thus they will analyze you hand as hard as they can, and throwing what they thought will be a save tile.
