Hopefully an AI will be able to get its hands on large amounts of data. Once it has that, it doesn't matter very much what its priors were.
Agreed, but the priors can in principle be strong enough that hypothesis A will always be favored over B no matter how much data you have, even though B gives an orders of magnitude higher P(data|B) than P(data|A).
