I have a rough idea of values of individuals techs from 1.2, but especially for mid and higher end techs, they have now nearly doubled in price (i.e. selective breeding now at some 78k when it went for 49k previously)
General idea of tech value:
Tier 1: 7000-12000
Tier 2: 10000-16000
Tier 3: 16000-33000
Tier 4+: usually higher than 35000
Note that there are some exceptions to the rule. I.e. the naval buildings line tends to cost more and the industrial farm line costs ridiculous amounts as well.
Now as for your tech value vs the AI's, in 1.2, you could actually trade 1:1 or 2:1 with high end social techs agaisnt lower AI techs. In 1.3, they will not even value your top end techs for anything at all.
Generally, each of your techs is worth less than 1000 to the AI, msotly in the 200-600 range.
