The AI thing is similar in many ways to the way that car companies are trying to train self driving cars. Much depends on the quality of the instruction.
I do not know if this is true, but I heard that when the Tesla engineers were first trying to teach their cars to self drive, they showed lots of graphics of pedestrians to the computer with instructions not to run into a pedestrian. And when they took the car out, it ran into a pedestrian. Why? The graphics they used to train the computer showed pedestrians in crosswalks. But the pedestrian it hit was not in a marked crosswalk.
