Constitutional Ai
AI research lab Anthropic developed new RLAIF techniques for Constitutional AI that help align AI with human values. They use self-supervision and adversarial training to teach AI to behave according to certain principles or a ‘constitution’ without needing explicit human labeling or oversight. Constitutional AI aims to embed legal and ethical frameworks into the model, like those in national constitutions.
Areas of application
- Medical decision-making
- Financial planning and investment
- Law enforcement and legal proceedings
- Education and learning systems
- Environmental sustainability and resource management
Example
An example of Constitutional AI is an AI system designed to assist with medical decision-making. The system is trained on a constitution of ethical principles and legal guidelines, such as the right to privacy and autonomy. When faced with a complex medical decision, the system can use its training to determine the best course of action while aligning with these values.
