Also, even if an AI does have its own cognitive biases, it still might be orders of magnitude more rational than a human being.

Or orders of magnitude less rational. This isn't terribly germane to your original point but it seemed worth pointing out. We really have no good idea what the minimum amount of rationality actually is for an intelligent entity.

Oh, I definitely agree with that. It's certainly possible to conceive of a really, really, really suboptimal mind that is still "intelligent" in the sense that it can attempt to solve problems.
