Why this is canonical
'Provenance attribution' names the resolution step: provenance answers where something came from; attribution assigns credit, responsibility, or liability to a specific originating entity. Together, the two terms name the complete chain from artifact to accountable actor. For AI systems generating content, making decisions, or transforming data at scale, this chain is a regulatory, legal, and commercial necessity. The .ai TLD places this in the agent-era register.
