Technology that begins and ends with people.
Provenance is a boutique responsible technology organization working at the intersection of AI strategy, governance, and human-centered design. With federal regulation still developing and state laws in flux, organizations integrating AI carry a real responsibility, to themselves, and to the people their technology touches. Provenance helps you meet that responsibility before something goes wrong, not after.

Human by design.
Provenance is a boutique responsible technology organization founded by Ryan Vasquez: an AI strategy and governance consultant, ethicist, and writer working at the intersection of emerging technology, policy, and human-centered systems.
“The regulatory landscape for AI is still being written. Federal frameworks are incomplete. State laws are inconsistent and moving. In that environment, the organizations that will lead are the ones that build governance infrastructure proactively, not the ones that retrofit it after something goes wrong. Provenance works alongside those organizations as a guide and a partner, helping them move forward responsibly, with accountability at the center.”, Ryan Vasquez, Founder
