RLAIF stands for Reinforcement learning from AI feedback, an artificial intelligence abbreviation.

A variant of RLHF in which an AI model, guided by written principles or instructions, generates the preference judgments used to train a reward model, reducing the need for human labelers.

Example: The team used RLAIF to scale harmlessness training to millions of comparisons.

Usage notes

Anthropic's 2022 "Constitutional AI" paper trained with AI feedback guided by a list of principles, and a 2023 Google study compared RLAIF directly with RLHF. Critics worry that AI-generated feedback can reinforce a model's existing blind spots. In practice labs often mix human and AI feedback.
