Constitutional AI replaces human labelers with AI feedback for model alignment

A new approach called Constitutional AI (CAI) and Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback (RLAIF) aims to reduce reliance on human labelers for aligning large language models. Instead of humans deciding which responses are better, CAI uses a set of natural-language principles, or a "constitution," to guide the model. The model first critiques and revises its own answers based on these principles, generating data for supervised fine-tuning. Subsequently, it uses the same principles to label preference pairs, enabling RLAIF, which mirrors the RLHF pipeline but with AI-generated feedback. AI

IMPACT This approach could significantly reduce the cost and time required for aligning LLMs, potentially accelerating the development and deployment of more capable and safer AI systems.
