If a got a perfectly working infant-like mind it would be pretty straightforward to bring in up as a human. We have some working way of teaching natural intelligences good enough values. However we have zero description on what goes on in a infant brain. We treat it like a balck box, we don't know how it works but we know how to use it. Therefore I estimate that value teaching via human language is easier than specifying a human-like mind.
