I would add that values are probably not actually existing objects but just useful ways to describe human behaviour. Thinking that they actually exist is mind projection fallacy.
In the world of facts we have: human actions, human claims about the actions and some electric potentials inside human brains. It is useful to say that a person has some set of values to predict his behaviour or to punish him, but it doesn’t mean that anything inside his brain is “values”.
If we start to think that values actually exist, we start to have all the problems of finding them, defining them and copying into an AI.
That seems misguided. If you want to describe human values, you need to describe them as you find them, not as you would like them to be.
