> We treat the constitution as the final authority on how we want Claude to be and to behave—that is, any other training or instruction given to Claude should be consistent with both its letter and its underlying spirit. This makes publishing the constitution particularly important from a transparency perspective: it lets people understand which of Claude’s behaviors are intended versus unintended, to make informed choices, and to provide useful feedback. We think transparency of this kind will become ever more important as AIs start to exert more influence in society1.
This isn't a Constitution. Claude is not a human being, The people who design and operate it are. If there are any goals, aspirations, intents that go into designing/programming the LLM, the constitution needs to apply to the people who are designing it. You can not apply a constitution to a piece of code, it does what its designed to do, or fail to do by the way its designed by the people who design/code it.
