sure. you can apply these concepts to anything, but i find the dichotomy primitive. let alone because it _is_ a dichotomy. there are plenty of things that fall in neither or both categories.
But now take that understanding to the AI: clearly we can build systems tat achieve higher integrity with whatever purpose they identify with. Also, it can be moral for you to eat meat if animal suffering does not make animals moral subjects (= if you don’t share their purposes).

being a hobby mathematician and programmer who is reasonably informed about machine learning, i strongly question the idea that we can build systems that have higher integrity. at least not along the paths of imitation that we are currently taking, and i know no other.

I think that it is obviously much easier for our programs to have rational integrity than for us: that is perhaps the least of our problems.
