That's completely false. People get deceived all the time. We even have a word for it: social engineering.
> we can never possibly give that sort of trust to AI because it's never really on our side or aligned with our goals
Right now we can't! AI is currently the equivalent of a very smart child. Would you give production access to a child?
> you can never really completely secure something and ensure there are no possible exploits.
This applies to any system, not just AI.

I mean this is my point! Why are we asking a child to do anything remotely important at all?
Maybe we should wait until the tech is an adult before we start having it do important things for us.
Mitigating the naiveness and recklessness of a child AI by attempting to lock down the environment as best we can seems foolish and short sighted to me and will probably not end well.
