The Critical Role of Data Lineage in Ensuring Effective AI Governance

The growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) presents tremendous opportunities and risks. AI systems influence critical sectors such as military and business operations, making it vital to establish robust governance frameworks. Effective AI governance relies on data lineage—the ability to trace the journey of data from its origin to its use in AI systems. This process ensures AI-generated decisions are based on trustworthy and accurate data, fostering transparency and accountability.

In this white paper, we’ll explore the relationship between data lineage and AI governance, the importance of verification and validation (V&V), and how knowledge graphs ensure AI outputs are reliable, understandable, and traceable.
