The orthogonality thesis cuts both ways there.

On one hand, AI doesn't have to share human wants, needs and morality - and that means that an AI may have no issue whatsoever doing terrible things.

On the other hand, AI doesn't have to share human wants, needs and morality - and that means that an AI may see no issue with just doing whatever humans want it to, without ever doing human things like "wanting freedom".

The problem is, of course, that we kind of suck at both assessing and shaping AI wants, needs and morality.
