model provenance
About this tag
Model provenance refers to the traceability and verification of AI agents and models within enterprise systems. Discussions on WindowsForum.com highlight how Microsoft and Workday are building an Agent System of Record to give AI agents verified identities and manage them alongside human employees. The concept also appears in debates about shadow AI, where employees use AI features in familiar apps without awareness, and in critiques of AI forecasting limitations in sports. Model provenance is central to governance, accountability, and risk management as AI becomes embedded in enterprise workflows, from Microsoft 365 Copilot to NFL sideline tools. The tag covers identity, lifecycle management, and the practical barriers to displacing established ecosystems like Azure.
