Will the AI be able to deal with increasing the ship size or logistics (ship number)?

I want to setup a doubling table where ship sizes are twice the size of the lower size (yes, that puts huge at 250).
I also want to increase logistics to create true fleet battles (yes, my computer has some power).

BUT.....

Will the AI be able to make competitive ships at the larger sizes???
Will it use the larger fleets???

OR, am I handicapping the AI??
