Most modern machinery has some form of ready diagnostics to notice when things aren't right and either shutdown or warn. This could be considered a form of the pain - just the reaction necessary for proper function.

That's right. But scientists are trying to take it one step further where it's not just reaction based on stimuli but a deeper understanding of what pain is.
there is a story example that can point to a way to go ... have you looked at the game Mass Effect: Andromeda? the start of the store line shows an AI that was integrated into the main character's mind so the AI can grow with humanity and would be a part of us and in so doing be invested in our future. This has been the best solution that I have come across. Kinda like a symbiotic relationship where for the AI to fully function the human companion must live in balance with it.
That would be a great way to achieve the end goal of AI i.e. to augment human life.
