A new research paper published on arXiv explores the challenges and open problems in reconstructing 'constitutions' for language models, which are sets of natural-language principles derived from preference data. The study highlights that simply listing principles is insufficient, as the composition and execution of these principles remain ambiguous. The research found that different methods of executing these principles can lead to varying outcomes, and that constitutions can differ significantly between different language models. The paper proposes that constitutions should be evaluated as part of a 'constitution-executor system' to improve interpretability and consistency. AI
IMPACT This research could lead to more interpretable and consistent AI decision-making by addressing ambiguities in how AI models interpret and apply guiding principles.
