Missing content provenance / watermarking
Transparency & ExplainabilityDescription
AI-generated content is indistinguishable from human content, enabling misuse and eroding trust.
Example scenario
AI-drafted customer communications are sent without any indication they were machine-generated.
Real-world evidence◐Demonstrated
Regulatory frameworks requiring model documentation (EU AI Act, SR 11-7, EBA guidelines) are now in force, and audits routinely find gaps, but large-scale enforcement actions specifically citing absent model cards or technical documentation as a primary violation are still emerging rather than a confirmed pattern of production incidents.
Primary mitigations
- Watermarking/C2PA provenance
- AI-content labelling
- disclosure on generated material.
Detection signals
Provenance-coverage metric; label-presence checks.
