Techno-optimist narrative

Anthropic's constitution for Claude is part of the company's groundbreaking and transparent approach to AI safety, which treats the model as an entity that must understand the reasoning behind its values as well as obediently follow orders. When applied to a detailed framework, this stance will help ensure that the AI model remains both helpful and safe.

Techno-skeptic narrative

All the constitutions in the world will not address the fundamental danger to human life and society posed by ever-advancing AI models. Given the reckless abandon with which they pursue such dangerous technologies, companies cannot be allowed to govern themselves, a fact which underscores the desperate need for binding legal frameworks and international cooperation on AI safety.
