So lets see, you want the AI to be astronomically brilliant but to obey and
be utterly devoted to something it can only consider ridiculously stupid,
you want the AI to behave benevolently toward humans but be genocidal with
transhumans, you want the AI to let humans be free but to tightly restrict
their research into computer science and nanotechnology, you want all these
things to never change and you want it to happen without the AI or the human
race stagnating. What you want you're not going to get.

Emotions are the organizing principles of the mind, you don't "put them in"
they come with the territory.

And the AI being as smart as it is will realize you have no empathy for it
and may just return the favor. I don't think it would be a good idea to get
on the wrong side of a Jupiter brain.
