This concept of "Constitutional AI" is a pipe dream. There is nothing to prevent anyone from simply stripping the code that compels constitutional adherence right out of the AI, and then it's back to square one.
I find it amusing that the article mentions "constitutional rights and privileges". What the hell is a "constitutional privilege"? I'm not aware of anything of the sort. Rights are inherent, but "privileges" are issued by some governing body, and are therefore subject to revocation by the same. The Constitution, and particularly the Bill of Rights, were constructed specifically to limit governmental powers to revoke rights, and I don't know of any "constitutional privileges" that it confers.
