Anthropic and the Collective Intelligence Project sourced constitutional principles from roughly 1,000 ordinary Americans, tested and refined a real model on those principles, and found that in some areas, this resulted in less biased outputs than those of the standard, internally authored model. [...] In January, Anthropic published a new “Constitution” for Claude, written the same way its old one was: by a small internal team, with input from the model itself and a handful of outside experts, but not from the tens of millions of people that model now talks to. Open the next revision to the people who live with its consequences and help bring about a global consultation on AI.
