<< 2 points:

the AI to find alternative harmelss solutions to a
problem;>>
I would say that restrictions might prevent an AI from implementing obvious
harmful solutions to a problem, though as well as channelling them to
harmless solutions it may also send them toward less obvious harmful ones.
Nothing is perfect (yet).
<< 2.) The freedom of the AI to develop must be balanced
with the possible effects on humans. Speaking
selfishly, I'd plump for the latter party.

I'd say that the freedom of any AI must be balanced against the possible
effects on any sentient, human or AI, just as a human's freedom must be
balanced against the same possibility of causing harm. I just hope that with
designed intelligences we can do a better job of instilling a respect for
others than we tend to do now.
