It's worth understanding the history of Anthropic. There's a lot of implied background that helps it make sense.

To quote:

> Founded by engineers who quit OpenAI due to tension over ethical and safety concerns, Anthropic has developed its own method to train and deploy “Constitutional AI”, or large language models (LLMs) with embedded values that can be controlled by humans.

And

> Anthropic incorporated itself as a Delaware public-benefit corporation (PBC), which enables directors to balance stockholders' financial interests with its public benefit purpose.

> Anthropic's "Long-Term Benefit Trust" is a purpose trust for "the responsible development and maintenance of advanced AI for the long-term benefit of humanity". It holds Class T shares in the PBC, which allow it to elect directors to Anthropic's board.

TL;DR: The idea of a constitution and related techniques is something that Anthropic takes very seriously.
