Abstract: The exploration of \textit{Utility} and \textit{Human Value} is an inherently challenging endeavor. The task of appropriately representing value in computers and aligning the value systems of machines with human values has been widely studied in recent years. However, through a review of the literature, we discern that this representation of value is still in its infancy. Currently, computational human value can only address relatively straightforward tasks associated with human preferences, and there is room for improvement in the effectiveness of these solutions. Moreover, when faced with intricate value judgments and decision-making problems, there is currently no unified model to address such complexities. In this essay, we will focus on rethinking the forms of representation for human value and value from a top-down perspective. Following the \textit{U-V theory}, we will explore what constitutes a meaningful representation of Utility and Human Value, considering among social value attributes, individual needs, and survival requirements.
