I digress

No, why, they're all valid points.

The only problem is that the thing is programmed by people of course, so we cannot know for sure if it'll be 100% free of prejudice or dirty tricks, but we can at least demand opensourcing the code and making it's log public. There will always remain plenty of possibilities to fuck with it by those who manage it, but it's already one major improvement over what we have now.

That depends on the techniques employed in creating the AI. If it's a neural network, it's incredibly unlikely that a human can even understand, let alone directly alter its programming.

It will require some kind of programming. They can't put an AI down and expect it to start running a nation by instinct. And even if they can't alter the programming, they can restrict the input so it gets so it will make decisions based on bad information. There will always be ways people can fuck with it. No system is 100% safe.
