AI Audit Attribution Should Allow for 'Unknown'
HaktanSuren · x · 2026-07-17
The author argues that AI audit trails should allow for an "unknown" status rather than forcing a definitive attribution.
The reasoning: in systems like WordPress, cron jobs and shared libraries blur the lines of which plugin actually triggered a model call. A best-effort attribution approach, like that of HandL AI Connector, is far more realistic. Otherwise, "false certainty" wrongly pins security and financial liabilities on innocent parties.
