We can ask, how to live a moral life, and christ and aristotle and buddha will tell us. But if we want AI to be moral, they need to not just act morally but also answer the question: What is "good"? principia ethica by ge Moore is my favorite work in philosophical meta-ethics. Moore argues that 'good' is an irreducible property of actions and states of affairs. It can be "seen" with moral intuition. Essentially, this is the "queer view" that jl Mackie argues against in skepticism, positing that moral properties, if they exist, must be extremely strange sui generis properties. For your purposes, perhaps AI could be trained to pick out the good actions or states affairs by "sensing" the moral properties that are instantiated - similar to how it learns what the right move is when driving.
