Data Lineage & Provenance

Data lineage and provenance provide organizations with visibility into where data originates, how it changes, and how it moves throughout AI systems. These capabilities are essential for transparency, accountability, auditability, and regulatory compliance. Without lineage and provenance, organizations may struggle to explain model behavior, investigate incidents, validate data quality, or satisfy governance requirements. In this lesson, learners will explore the concepts of lineage and provenance, understand their role in AI governance, and examine the controls used to maintain traceability throughout the AI lifecycle. Mastering these concepts strengthens trust, governance maturity, and operational resilience.
