Some down-voted individual with "fewer rights than the star-bellied sneetches" wrote this:

higher intelligence doesn't lead necessarily to convergent moral goals

It might. However, this is also a reason for an evolutionarily-informed AGI-building process that starts off by including mirror neurons based on the most empathic and most intelligent people. Not so empathic and stupid that they embrace mass-murdering communism in an attempt to be compassionate, but empathic to the level of a smart libertarian who personally gives a lot to charity, etc., with repeated good outcomes limited only by capacity.

Eschewing mirror neurons and human brain construction entirely seems to be a mistake. Adding super-neo-cortices that recognize far more than linear patterns, once you have a benevolent "approximate human level" intelligence appears to be a good approach.
