Abstract - The emergence of very large foundation models such as GPT, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E and Midjourney has dramatically altered the trajectory of progress in AI and its applications. The enthusiasm for AI has expanded beyond the realm of AI researchers and has reached the general population; indeed it asserts we are living in an exciting time of scientific proliferation. The present-day capability of AI exhibits promising forms of intelligence with wider usability, but it also possesses unexpected limitations and is susceptible to potential misuse. AI has reached a level where discerning AI-generated content, be it in text, images or videos, has become notably challenging, which we term as "eloquence” characteristics. Conversely, the worrisome rise of hallucinations of AI models raises credibility issues, which we refer to as "adversity" characteristics. Recently, the governments of both the United States and the European Union have put forth their preliminary proposals concerning the regulatory framework for the safety of systems powered by AI. AI systems that adhere to these regulations in the future will be referred to by a recently coined term “Constitutional AI”. The primary objective of regulatory frameworks is to establish safeguards against the misuse of AI systems. In the event of any such misuse, these frameworks aim to impose penalties on the individuals, groups, and/or organizations responsible for such misconduct. "CIVILIZING AI" embodies a nuanced equilibrium between the machine's eloquence and its inclination towards adversarial behavior, with the goal of enforcing constitutional principles.
