I think there are likely certain universal goals (which are subgoals
of anything that has any goal whatsoever). To name a few that come to
the top of my mind:
1. Self-preservation (if one ceases to exist, one can no longer serve
the goal)
Unless self-sacrifice serves the goal better. Ask any parent if they'd
sacrifice themself to save their child.
2. Efficiency (wasted resources are resources that might otherwise go
towards effecting the goal)
True. But it means being able to foresee all the way different things
can be used to further the goal. That raises my concern with an AI that
does bad things we didn't think of in pursing a goal.
3. Curiosity (learning new information can lead to better methods for
achieving the goal)
But, depending on the goal, a possibly very narrow curiosity....like
Sherlock Holmes who didn't know the Earth orbited the Sun and wasn't
interested because it had nothing to do with solving crimes.

There's probably many others.
