Public Sector
Public bodies are expected to show how decisions were informed.
Public bodies could establish persistent identity and continuity for:
legislation and policy
official records and registers
guidance and service rules
consultation evidence
datasets and statistics
AI-assisted analysis and responses
Instead of asking whether a record is the authoritative version, bodies can resolve its identity and inspect its history.
Next: EnterpriseAI is only as accountable as the knowledge behind it.
When the sources, rights and history of knowledge used in AI workflows can be traced, people have better evidence for oversight, review and change management.
Where AI supports public services, provenance makes oversight and accountability easier to evidence.
Show which governed knowledge informed an AI-assisted output.
Preserve the history of policy and guidance as it changes.
Support audit, scrutiny and transparency requirements.
Provenance does not guarantee that an AI output is accurate or unbiased, and it applies to knowledge registered with AuthOrigin. It cannot recover the origins of data that was never recorded.
