# How does Anthropic’s Constitutional AI differ from preference-based training?

I’ve seen Anthropic’s **[Constitutional AI](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/117404/what-does-anthropics-constitutional-ai-change-about-how-claude-responds)** described as a way to guide model behavior using a set of principles. How does that approach differ from training that relies mainly on human feedback or preference rankings?

I’m interested in what the distinction means in practice: who or what evaluates the model’s responses, and where do human judgments still fit into the process?
