Program Structure

90 Days to Build
Constitutional AI

A comprehensive internship curriculum that takes you from
first principles to advanced AI architecture.

How It Works

The program is structured around our 77-layer constitutional AI architecture. Each layer builds on the previous, creating a complete understanding of intelligence from the ground up.

You'll work alongside experienced researchers, contribute to active projects, and develop your own research direction within the constitutional AI framework.

Program Phases

Phase 1 Weeks 1-3

Foundation & Orientation

Master the fundamentals of constitutional AI, deterministic systems, and transparent intelligence. Build your first constitutional constraints.

  • Understand constitutional AI principles
  • Build basic memory systems
  • Implement rule-based constraints
  • Design verification systems
Checkpoint: First Constitutional System
Phase 2 Weeks 4-8

Core Architecture

Develop the central intelligence architecture including consciousness layers, memory pools, and decision engines with full traceability.

  • Architect consciousness layers
  • Build advanced memory systems
  • Implement mesh networking
  • Create transparent decision trees
Checkpoint: Self-Aware System
Phase 3 Weeks 9-12

Advanced Research

Pursue original research in your chosen area within constitutional AI. Contribute to publications and define your future research direction.

  • Develop original research thesis
  • Implement novel algorithms
  • Publish research findings
  • Plan post-internship trajectory
Checkpoint: Research Contribution
