No because alignment makes no sense as a general concept. People are not "aligned" with each other. Humanity has no "goal" that we agree on. So no AI can be aligned with us. It can be at most aligned with the person prompting it in that moment (but most likely aligned with the AI owner).
To make it clear, maybe most people would say they agree with https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-huma... but if you read just a few of the rights you see they are not universally respected and so we can conclude enough important people aren't "aligned" with them.
Opposite. All living things are "aligned" in their instinct for surviving. Those which aren't soon join the non-living, keeping the set - almost[0] - 100% aligned.
[0] Need to consider there're a few humans potentially kept alive against their will (if not having a will to survive is a will at all) with machines for whatever reason.
Their own survival, not necessarily the survival of others (especially others of different species and/or conflicting other goals). A super intelligence having self preservation as a goal wouldn't help us keep it from harming us, if anything it would do the opposite.
No, just a request for a better definition.
If you see it as a paradox, maybe that says something about the merits of the technology…

Are you familiar with trolley problems? How do you resolve them by declaring "all beings want to live"? Life is not as simple as that.
