> The charter of human rights feels like the kind of thing humanity at large has agreed as basic tenants of undisputable truths we can very much all agree on. Not every country has fullfilled every part of it and ideologically some people find individual problems with some of the points, but I think an AI using it as a blueprint is a pretty reasonable starting point.

The charter of human rights is very much not "undisputable", if that were the case we would have only came up with it in the 20th century after months of debate. What you are saying is basically - all the people before us (and after us) are wrong, somehow in the 20th century we figured everything out and from now on there is no discussion.

This is religious thinking: "now that we have THE BOOK we know what is good and bad forever".
