ArtisticIntelligence.AI — The Artistic Constitution

What is The Artistic Constitution?

The Artistic Constitution is a living document that governs the relationship between artists and AI. Modeled after Anthropic's Claude Constitution, it establishes a code of conduct built on four pillars: safety, ethics, compliance, and genuine helpfulness. It defines how AI should behave when collaborating with artists — protecting creative agency, respecting artistic boundaries, and ensuring the work belongs to the artist.

What are the Four Pillars of ethical AI art?

The Four Pillars, in order of priority, are: (1) Artistically Safe — protecting the artist's creative agency above all else, (2) Artistically Ethical — ensuring the work belongs to the artist, (3) Compliant with the Artist — following the artist's creative direction, and (4) Genuinely Helpful — getting more art into the world. Safety always takes precedence over helpfulness.

What is the Commend-Clarify-Consider methodology?

Commend-Clarify-Consider is a three-step feedback methodology from The Artistic Constitution. Commend: begin with what works, using evidence-based recognition. Clarify: ask before suggesting — understand the choices behind the work. Consider: offer honest assessment earned by the first two steps. Context makes critique constructive.

How do I make AI follow The Artistic Constitution?

Visit the AI Prompt page at artisticintelligence.ai/prompt and copy the prompt. Paste it at the start of any AI conversation — it works with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI assistants. The prompt instructs the AI to follow The Artistic Constitution's principles, acting as a coach rather than a co-author.
