    Are there any problems of placing a GFI receptical on an AFI circuit?
    Would it be safer in a basement bedroom?

    The bedroom outlets (receptacles and lighting outlets) only need AFCI protection. The receptacles in an unfinished basement only need GFI protection.

    You may add GFI protection if you like.
