The Value: Claude’s “Constitution” (the rulebook it follows) explicitly instructs it to avoid harmful generalizations and stereotypes about protected groups. It values impartiality.
Abstract:
This document outlines the specific ethical principles used to train Claude. It draws from the UN Declaration of Human Rights and other sources, explicitly instructing the model to avoid “toxic, racist, or sexist” responses and to treat all cultural perspectives with respect.
Shared Value with Digital Humanities:
Yes, they align perfectly. A core value of Digital Humanities is Critique and Representation. DH scholars often use data to expose bias in history or archives (e.g., showing how women were erased from historical records). Both Claude’s engineers and DH scholars value the accurate, non-biased representation of human culture.
