…the paper’s authors call reinforcement learning from AI feedback, RLAIF, to distinguish it from RLHF [ 1 ] . Put in terms of the objective in the previous section, Constitutional AI’s second phase is the same J(θ\theta) , with r(x,y) for the harmlessness component sourced from a principle-conditioned AI judgment rather than an additional round of human labelling; the original paper’s helpfulness comparisons continued to draw on human preference data [ 1 ] .
