My question is, can the AI detect what kind of weapons you have with no long range scanner tech? Even scan my cargo for weaponry?

Yes, it can. I had previously reported that an AI snaked through my defended planets to attack the only one that had no weapons platforms. In a recent game, the AI moved an attack fleet into one of my systems - headed straight for an undefended planet. I saved the game, and emergency-built a wp on that planet. The AI turned and attacked another undefended planet. I loaded the saved game and built a wp on that planet also. It then attacked a third planet. I found that I could control where the AI attacked by which planet I left undefended. When I built wp's on all undefended planets, it attacked the planet with an older, obsolete wp. So, yes, it does know what defenses you have in cargo.
