Abstract

Questions about training data lineage pose both major intellectual property (IP),  licensing, and regulatory compliance challenges to organizations adopting  machine learning (ML) models enter-wide. The paper introduces a reliable, provenance graph based framework to trace assets in initial ingestion to transformation to outputs modeled and support license-aware reasoning and dualmode (static, dynamic) scanning. Conflicts, incompatible licenses and downstream exposures are detected in near real time and automated clearance processes can run.

 Demonstration using case studies in three areas, multilingual language model training, healthcare Electronic Health Records (EHR) analytics and financial fraud detection proves that the framework can enhance the accuracy of conflict identification leading to an increase to 95% (license review automation) compared to 38 percent (manual). The combined static-dynamic scanning  technique detected 99 per cent of latent compliance risks as opposed to 71-78 per cent with the single-mode techniques. Automated clearance not only saved  costs of retrofitting 92 percent of the time, it also lower the legal review time by  60 percent. 

 Investigations into performance at ingestion rates as high as 10,000 assets/hour showed processing latencies were less than 350 ms/asset with overhead in the  range of <7%, in addition to achieving over 95% accuracy. The findings satisfy  that the given resolution operationalizes “trust-by-design” of data and  generative outputs, minimizing compliance risk, streamlining legal processes,  and growing with ease in high-volume corporate settings. 

 The research itself would bring to the field  repeatable and technology-neutral  mechanism to integrate compliance into AI life cycle, which links the legal  regulation with technical development. This framework would place provenance  as a protection against legal liability as well as a vehicle to operational efficiency, allowing organization to comfortably implement their AI system across the granular compliance regulatory setting.
