That is the goal of MIRI, the organization that EY founded, and is a frequent topic of discussion on LW

MIRI’s three research objectives are, at present:

•highly reliable agent design: how can we design AI systems that reliably pursue the goals they are given?

•value learning: how can we design learning systems to learn goals that are aligned with human values?

Not exactly what I meant. What are these human values (for humans not robots) and how do you prove they are rational and scientific? Their goal is to design AI that will accept human goals/values without defining a rational basis for those human values.
