What is Constitutional AI in Applied AI?
An alignment approach where a model evaluates and revises its own outputs against a written set of principles, then trains on those revisions. Anthropic introduced the method as a way to reduce human-labeling cost while still steering model behavior. The principles act as the constitution, hence the name.
