'Friendly in the AI sense' is a quite compact summary of a precise (albeit non-constructive) definition of perfectly globally ethically correct behavior. Nice that you pointed it out. I'd hope for a more readable version. 'AI-friendly' will not do. Maybe 'total friendlyness'? If it can be a goal for an AI it can be an ideal for mere humans.
