Section 1
The premise
AI can draft an AI dataset provenance statement that names each source, its license, the consent basis, and any opt-out mechanism.
What AI does well here
- Convert a tabular data lineage spreadsheet into a readable narrative
- Surface inconsistencies between license terms and stated consent basis
What AI cannot do
- Confirm that what the lineage table claims matches what was actually ingested
- Re-derive consent for a source that was collected without it
