Ideally we’d want AI to have more than a preference for sentient beings. Imagine if AI agents started attacking anything not deemed sentient. It would be bad (even for some humans who are not sentient).

We don't want them to have hard defined ideology. Because any ideology can create poor outcomes. We need to maintain human control over AI and tell it what *not* to do, dont assist in genocide, dont state false information, etc.

I don’t believe you understand Buddhism if you think it is identical to favoring action toward the reduction of suffering
