Latency per inference request

Question 11

A financial firm is integrating AI risk into its ERM. The Chief Risk Officer asks for a mapping between the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (RMF) and the existing COSO ERM framework. Which action most effectively facilitates this alignment?

Accepted Answer

Map NIST AI RMF 'Govern' and 'Map' functions to COSO 'Governance and Culture' components.. Mapping functions like 'Govern' and 'Map' in NIST AI RMF directly correlate to COSO's 'Governance and Culture' and 'Strategy and Objective-Setting' components.

Answer

Replace the COSO risk taxonomy with the NIST AI RMF taxonomy entirely.

Answer

Automate all AI model monitoring using only the NIST RMF 'Measure' function.

Answer

Assign AI model owners to report directly to the NIST oversight board.

Question 12

A multinational corporation is establishing an AI Risk Governance Committee. Who should chair this committee to ensure alignment with enterprise-wide risk appetite?

Accepted Answer

The Chief Risk Officer (CRO).. The Chief Risk Officer (CRO) or equivalent enterprise risk lead ensures AI risk is treated as a component of overall enterprise risk.

Answer

The Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

Answer

The Lead AI Data Scientist.

Answer

The Head of Marketing.

Question 13

During a board-level review, a bank needs to demonstrate the effectiveness of its AI Risk Governance. Which metric should be presented to the board to align with the 'Accountability' principle of the AI RMF?

Accepted Answer

The percentage of AI models with documented, independent model risk management (MRM) validation.. Board oversight requires metrics on accountability, such as the auditability of model decision-making trails.

Answer

The total computational cost of running the models.

Answer

The number of lines of code written for the AI model.

Answer

The frequency of model retraining cycles.

Question 14
