Question 1

What is The Artistic Constitution?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

What are the Four Pillars of ethical AI art?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

What is the Commend-Clarify-Consider methodology?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

How do I make AI follow The Artistic Constitution?

Accepted Answer

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.
