Those two questions seem like they are worded to elicit a positive answer. They don't give any hint who exactly "mistake" is defined and how the AI can be sure you actually have a need.

Why not use more neutral formulations - e.g. such as:

- should an AI perform certain actions on its own? - should an AI in certain situations prevent you from performing an action?

Exactly. These questions are silly even if you substituted a fully sentient human. Should your butler prevent you from making mistakes?
