## Relationship to KB

CAI is building the technical infrastructure for [[human-made-is-becoming-a-premium-label-analogous-to-organic-as-AI-generated-content-becomes-dominant]] and [[community-owned-IP-has-structural-advantage-in-human-made-premium-because-provenance-is-inherent-and-legible]]. C2PA/Content Credentials make human origin verifiable rather than just claimed.

Relevant to [[AI alignment is a coordination problem not a technical problem]] — content provenance is a trust coordination mechanism, not just a technical standard.
