Yes, I would say that would be possible.

It would also be expensive, time consuming and probably rather pointless. It might also be considered cruel, perverse, unethical and possibly even illegal in some countries.

On the other hand, the Transhuman Space setting is full of people who go to great lengths to do perverse things, so I would expect to see a fair number of AIs raised like this...
