AI governance faces a "Constitutional Coverage Trilemma" as models fail to meet diverse user values

A new research paper titled "The Constitutional Coverage Trilemma in AI Governance" explores the alignment between the values encoded in frontier AI models and human demand. The study found that while user demand for values like safety, helpfulness, honesty, autonomy, and equity is broad, the supply of these values in deployed LLMs is narrow and shows concerning trends, such as a decrease in autonomy and an increase in equity across model versions. The research suggests that a limited selection of specific value configurations could significantly improve user satisfaction compared to the current range of models. AI

IMPACT Highlights a critical gap in AI alignment, suggesting current models may not adequately represent user values, potentially impacting trust and adoption.

    The Constitutional Coverage Trilemma in AI Governance

    arXiv:2609.01275v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Frontier AI systems function as \emph{constitutional institutions}: each deployed model encodes an implicit ranking among safety, helpfulness, honesty, autonomy, and equity. We ask whether the supply of frontier constitutional typ…
