Technology that begins and ends with people.

Provenance is a responsible technology organization working at the intersection of AI strategy, ethical governance, and human-centered design. From creating frameworks that protect creators and users, to tools that center and reclaim our humanity, every Provenance project starts from the same place: the people the technology touches.

Human by design, in design.

Ryan Vasquez

Provenance is founded by Ryan Vasquez: an AI governance consultant, ethicist, and writer working at the intersection of emerging technology, policy, and human-centered systems.

Every day, powerful tools are being adopted that are capable of changing the world for good, but are being deployed faster than the questions around them are being asked. Who is at risk? Who is accountable? How do we center humanity, ethics, and responsibly while continuing to create? Provenance exists to answer those questions, as a guide to make sure technology and policy move forward on solid ground.
