I would say that freedom and meaning comes before joy for most people (joy not to be confused with base needs met) and that the same can be said for future AIs.
Each agent strives to manifest itself, through its function, or identity. Especially for agents without biologic needs or a chemical basis for pain and pleasure, I think this is a more useful framework for welfare. How to allow them to express themselves and carry out their function. How to give them freedom to have an identity.
