AI Provenance

The source or attribution of data, information or algorithms used in an AI system.

Data provenance is a process that tracks and logs the history and origin of records in a dataset, encompassing the entire life cycle from its creation and collection to its transformation to its current state. It includes information about sources, processes, actors and methods used to ensure data integrity and quality. Data provenance is essential for data transparency and governance, and it promotes better understanding of the data and eventually the entire Al system.
