Well, for example, in the human design there is (appears to be) one 
module that pushes the system to become dominant among the the other 
individuals of the species.  It needs to be acknowledged as superior in 
some way.

And there is another module that can cause the creature to enjoy 
perperating acts of destruction or violence.

It seems clear that these modules are not necessary to the proper 
functioning of the system (evidence:  some people have extremely weak 
versions of these modules).  It is also transparently obvious that these 
would be dangerous in an AGI.  So, they go.

As for your "how?" question:  they are simply left out of the AGI 
design.  Nothing more to it than that.
