The issue with religion, culture, moral philosophy at large has been the offensive nature of "That which prevails in reality". It gets in the way of what "is" the case.
What we "wish" was the case leaks into the human body of knowledge and its a problem.
For example: The word selfish is an incoherent term unless we can demonstrate a selfless act (We cant)
What "is" the case is I pull you from a burning car to rescue me from the pain "I" suffer in your demise.
It sounds odd but its accurate and offensive to many so we add flowery terms like "Hero" and "Selfless" and the signal gets corrupted.
My well-being is contingent upon your well-being (The is-ought-gap disappears) Thats where I stated from, not a statistical mean, not a commandment and not a thousand years of philosophy, just a "You hurt / I hurt" logic and built from there.
If you pull me from a river because your wellbeing is "contingent" upon mine then why wouldn't we hardwire AI with that same faculty?
The logic is VERY close to being as clean and lean as telling an AI to remove its hand from a hot stove before its hand gets damaged by the heat (Fact=Value)
If we can manage that, then we can prevent AI from tuning humans into paper-clips :)
