Anthropic Claude & Constitutional AI
Definition
Anthropic's AI model family trained with Constitutional AI — a methodology where models follow principles that guide safe behavior. Claude supports tool use, MCP (Model Context Protocol), and computer use. Constitutional AI reduces harmful outputs through training but is probabilistic — it cannot guarantee zero harmful actions.
Why It Matters
Claude is the leading safety-focused AI model, but Constitutional AI shapes intent, not boundaries. A constitutionally-trained model can still hallucinate schemas, forget constraints, and propose destructive mutations. Training-time alignment is necessary but not sufficient for production safety.
How Exogram Addresses This
Exogram provides a native MCP server for Claude Desktop. Every tool call Claude proposes passes through the deterministic policy engine. Constitutional AI shapes intent. Exogram enforces boundaries. They are complementary.
