100% for the near term but a couple decades from now I'm not so sure. Chess computers beat humans every single time even the absolute best of the best and they keep getting even better even since they first beat a world champion over 30 years ago. Is it not likely that similar trends could happen in other areas?

AI will excel in areas with clear cut rules and game theoretical modes of operation. Computers lack a Theory of the World which would allow them to: 1) create said rules, or 2) put disparate pieces into place in novel ways to further said rules. Humans will always be needed as a result.

But I could be wrong, who knows?

How can you test whether a computer lies? It basically needs to have a model of the world, by which point that becomes AGI, so indeed no human is safe. Until then, we have nothing to worry about.
