That's an interesting question, but I'm not sure there is an answer, other than "the AI engine". As far as I know, these AI engines have been scraping the web for a long time to form their language models and so combine information from several sources to try and provide the best information (which is not always correct). For example, I don't think they take a piece of information from a website and show it to you verbatim.
In my experience I never see citation when using AI such as ChatGPT. For example, I just performed a quick simple query and asked ChatGPT to show me how to write a JavaScript function. I then asked where the information came from, and it did start by saying "The information I provided is based on core JavaScript syntax and functionality, which are well-established standards in programming" but later on did provide a link to "MDN Web Docs (Mozilla Developer Network)." which is a well respected resource for browser based functionality.
So, in a nutshell, it appears you have to ask when using AI. Could you possibly write "Kirkpatrick's 4 Levels of Learning. Also provide where the information was sourced and any relevant citations."?
