Training Data Provenance

Training data provenance refers to the documented origin, lineage, and chain of custody for datasets used to develop and fine-tune AI models. Organizations must track where data comes from, how it has been processed, and who has handled it to ensure quality, identify potential biases, and demonstrate compliance with regulations like GDPR and HIPAA. This practice is critical for AI governance because it enables teams to validate data integrity, trace model failures back to source issues, and provide stakeholders with evidence that systems were built responsibly.
