On Wednesday, Anthropic released a revised version of Claude’s Constitution, a living document that provides a “holistic” explanation of the “context in which Claude operates and the kind of entity we would like Claude to be.” The document was released in conjunction with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos. For years, Anthropic has sought to distinguish itself from its competitors via what it calls “Constitutional AI,” a system whereby its chatbot, Claude, is trained using a specific set of ethical principles rather than human feedback.
