Constitutional AI enables self-supervised harmlessness…

Q: What does research say about: Constitutional AI enables self-supervised harmlessness without human labelling?

Constitutional AI models matched RLHF-trained models on helpfulness while reducing harmful outputs by 50%, using only 16 principles and zero human feedback labels. (Source: Bai et al., 'Constitutional AI: Harmlessness from AI Feedback', Anthropic, 2022). Instead of expensive human preference labels, the model critiques and revises its own outputs against a written constitution of behavioural rules.
