Granted, those are examples of trying to make a good AI, but the mistakes are the same.

That's my point. Where are the stories of villains failing through those classic mistakes?

You could probably find at least a few examples of 'villains creating AI and it turning on them' in http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AIIsACrapshoot or http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TurnedAgainstTheirMasters

That sounds like No Delays For The Wicked. The villians are immune to the sorts of problems that plague the protagonists.
