Work

Two interconnected practices: governance frameworks that protect organizations, and education that builds lasting AI literacy.

01

AI Governance

Provenance helps organizations understand their obligations and opportunities under emerging AI legislation, including the EU AI Act, US state and federal frameworks, and sector-specific regulation. Engagements range from risk assessments to comprehensive governance documents and internal policy development.

Powered by Compass AI, a survey-driven tool that maps your organization's AI footprint and returns concrete governance recommendations.

AI Fluency Education

The gap between access to AI tools and knowing how to use them responsibly is significant. Provenance offers workshops, one-on-one consulting, and organizational training designed to close that gap for companies, nonprofits, and individuals.

Emphasis on practical, ethical integration: not just what AI can do, but how to use it in ways that align with your values and mission.
