20+ practice questions focused on AI Security, Ethics and Governance — one of the most tested topics on the CompTIA AI+ AI0-001 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start AI Security, Ethics and Governance PracticeA healthcare organization deploys an AI system to analyze medical images and detect anomalies. During a routine audit, the security team discovers that the AI model occasionally returns results that include data from patients who have opted out of data sharing. Which security control should be implemented to prevent this violation?
Explanation: Data anonymization techniques applied to the training dataset remove personally identifiable information (PII) and ensure that data from patients who opted out of data sharing cannot be reconstructed in model outputs. This directly prevents the violation of returning data from opt-out patients. Role-based access control (RBAC) on the inference API controls who can access the model but does not prevent the model from leaking sensitive data. Differential privacy adds noise to training or queries to protect individual contributions, but it does not guarantee removal of specific opt-out data; it may still allow leakage if the model memorizes. Encryption protects data in transit and at rest but does not affect model outputs. Therefore, option A is the most effective control for this specific violation.
A company uses a machine learning model to recommend products to customers. The marketing team notices that the model is recommending high-profit items more frequently than low-profit items, even when customers are likely to prefer the latter. This behavior is causing customer dissatisfaction. Which approach would best align the model with customer preferences while maintaining profitability?
Explanation: A multi-objective optimization framework explicitly allows the model to balance multiple goals, such as profit and customer satisfaction, by optimizing both objectives simultaneously. Option A is incorrect because weighting profit more heavily would exacerbate the issue and further ignore customer preferences. Option C is incorrect because adjusting hyperparameters to reduce profit feature influence is not a principled way to balance objectives and may not effectively improve satisfaction. Option D is incorrect because removing profit data entirely ignores legitimate business goals, potentially harming profitability.
A security analyst reviews the log file from an AI model server. What is the most likely cause of the crash?
Explanation: A malicious input triggering a buffer overflow is the most likely cause of the crash because AI model servers often process user-supplied data in native code (e.g., C/C++ extensions or TensorFlow ops) that lack bounds checking. An attacker can craft an input that overflows a fixed-size buffer, corrupting memory and causing a segmentation fault or denial of service. This is a well-known AI security vulnerability, distinct from generic resource exhaustion or data-type errors.
An organization implements AI governance following the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. They need to ensure that all model decisions are logged with sufficient detail for later audit. Which logging requirement is most critical for traceability?
Explanation: Timestamp, input data, output, and model version together provide full traceability for audit. Option A is wrong because logging only input data and model name misses outputs, timestamp, and version, which are essential for traceability. Option B is wrong because source code and training dataset hash are not part of the inference audit trail; they are more relevant to model development. Option C is wrong because logging only model outputs and confidence scores misses inputs and model version, making it impossible to fully trace decisions.
A data scientist trains a sentiment analysis model on user reviews. To ensure transparency, they want to explain why the model classified a particular review as negative. Which explainability technique should they use?
Explanation: SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) provides per-feature attribution for individual predictions, making it suitable for explaining why a particular review was classified as negative. Option A is incorrect because a decision tree surrogate model is a global explanation method, not a local explanation for a single instance. Option B is incorrect because PCA is a dimensionality reduction technique, not an explainability method. Option D is incorrect because t-SNE is used for high-dimensional data visualization, not for explaining model predictions.
