Traceability is what connects modeling intent to data reality. Last year, Cogito Tech introduced #DataSum. Traceability must begin at the first touchpoint of data development. Every collection method, annotation decision, and quality check creates a downstream impact on fairness, safety, and compliance. Without structured visibility into these processes, risk accumulates—biases go undetected, regulatory obligations go unmet, and trust erodes. #DataSum is how developers can assess if a dataset is appropriate for a specific context, and how organizations can ensure their AI systems are built on ethically sound, regulation-ready foundations.
