AI Associate Timed Practice Test 1 — 10 Questions

Question 1

A healthcare provider uses an AI model to predict patient readmission risk. The model is trained on historical data that underrepresents minority populations. What is the MOST significant ethical risk?

10 minute time limit — choose an answer to begin.

Accepted Answer

The model may produce biased predictions against minorities. Training on historical data that underrepresents minority populations leads to a model that has insufficient examples to learn patterns for those groups, resulting in biased predictions that systematically disadvantage minorities. This is a direct violation of fairness in AI ethics, as the model's outputs will be less accurate or equitable for underrepresented groups, potentially causing harm in critical healthcare decisions like readmission risk assessment.

Answer

The model may overfit to the majority population

Answer

The model cannot scale to real-time predictions

Answer

The model lacks explainability

Question 2

A company deploys an AI-powered email composer for sales reps. The legal team requires that every AI-generated email be reviewed by a human before sending to a customer. Which approach aligns with Salesforce's Trusted AI Principle of Empathy and Human Oversight?

Accepted Answer

Require the sales rep to click 'Approve' before the email is sent. It directly implements human oversight by requiring the sales rep to click 'Approve' before the email is sent, aligning with Salesforce's Trusted AI Principle of Empathy and Human Oversight. This principle mandates that AI systems should include mechanisms for human review and control, especially in high-stakes communications, ensuring that AI-generated content is vetted for accuracy, tone, and compliance before reaching customers. The approval step creates a clear human-in-the-loop checkpoint, preventing automated sending without human judgment.

Answer

Allow the AI to send emails automatically but log all sent emails for audit

Answer

Use a rule to block specific words in AI-generated emails

Answer

Send a daily report of all AI-generated emails to the legal team after they are sent

Question 3

A data scientist is building a churn prediction model using Einstein Discovery. They want to ensure the model does not rely on sensitive attributes like race or gender, even if those are correlated with other features. Which technique is MOST aligned with Salesforce's data minimisation principle?

Accepted Answer

Remove sensitive attributes from the training data and avoid using proxies that strongly correlate with them. Data minimisation means using only the data necessary for the task. Excluding sensitive attributes from the feature set is the most direct way to prevent them from being used, even if they are correlated with other features. Correlation does not imply causation, and if those features are not essential, they should be removed.

Answer

Include all features and rely on the AI to ignore biased ones

Answer

Apply a fairness constraint after training to adjust predictions

Answer

Use differential privacy to add noise to the training data

Question 4

A company is deploying Einstein Reply Recommendations for a sales team. To comply with Salesforce's Trusted AI principle of transparency, what must the company ensure about the AI-generated replies?

Accepted Answer

Sales reps are informed that the reply is AI-generated and can review before sending. Salesforce's Trusted AI principle of transparency requires that users understand when they are interacting with AI-generated content and have the ability to review it before it is used. For Einstein Reply Recommendations, this means sales reps must be explicitly informed that the suggested reply is AI-generated and must be given the opportunity to review, edit, or reject it before sending. This human-in-the-loop approach ensures accountability and aligns with the transparency pillar of Salesforce's Trusted AI framework.

Answer

The AI model is fine-tuned on the company's past sales data

Answer

The AI-generated replies are automatically sent without human review

Answer

Customer data used to generate replies is retained for 90 days

Question 5

Which Einstein feature provides automated statistical analysis of Salesforce data, including story creation and improvement suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Einstein Discovery. Einstein Discovery provides automated statistical analysis, generates stories, waterfall charts, and improvement suggestions.

Answer

Einstein Forecasting

Answer

Einstein Prediction Builder

Answer

Einstein Recommendation Builder

Question 6

A sales director wants to implement lead scoring but has no historical data on which leads converted. What approach can the team use to start?

Accepted Answer

Use unsupervised learning to cluster leads into segments and score based on cluster characteristics. When no historical conversion labels exist, supervised learning cannot be used because there is no target variable to train on. Unsupervised learning — specifically clustering algorithms such as k-means or hierarchical clustering — can segment leads based on features like industry, engagement, and firmographics, and scores can then be assigned based on cluster characteristics. This provides a data-driven starting point without requiring labeled outcomes.

Answer

Train a supervised model using assumptions as labels

Answer

Skip lead scoring until enough conversion data is collected

Answer

Use reinforcement learning to learn scoring from sales team feedback

Question 7

A sales operations manager wants to use Einstein GPT for Sales to improve rep productivity. Which THREE tasks can Sales GPT perform?

Accepted Answer

Summarize sales calls. Einstein GPT for Sales includes a call summarization feature that uses generative AI to automatically create concise summaries of sales calls from transcripts. This directly improves rep productivity by saving time on manual note-taking and capturing key action items.

Answer

Create sales dashboards

Answer

Predict lead scores

Question 8

A sales team is implementing Einstein Lead Scoring. Which two actions should they take to ensure the model is effective? (Choose 2)

Accepted Answer

Ensure the training data includes both converted and unconverted leads.. Option D is correct because Einstein Lead Scoring is a supervised machine-learning model that learns patterns distinguishing successful outcomes from failures, so the training dataset must contain a balanced mix of converted (won) and unconverted (lost) leads to build a predictive model. Option E is correct because the model's accuracy depends on continuous feedback: as sales reps update lead statuses and conversion outcomes in Salesforce, the model retrains on that fresh labeled data, so regularly reviewing and providing accurate conversion feedback keeps scores relevant and improves predictive quality. Option A is incorrect because restricting scoring to demographic data alone ignores behavioral and engagement signals (such as email opens, website visits, and activity history) that are among the strongest predictors in Einstein Lead Scoring. Option B is incorrect because a single fixed score threshold for all users ignores differing sales processes and territories; thresholds should be configurable per user or business unit. Option C is incorrect because disabling the model for low-volume leads would prevent scoring exactly where prioritization help is needed, and Einstein Lead Scoring requires sufficient historical data rather than being turned off for low-volume segments.

Answer

Include only demographic data for scoring.

Answer

Set a fixed score threshold for all users.

Answer

Disable the model for low-volume leads.

Question 9

A sales director wants to use AI to prioritize leads that are most likely to convert. The company has historical data on leads that includes whether they converted (yes/no) and various attributes. Which machine learning type should be used?

Accepted Answer

Supervised learning (classification). The problem is a binary outcome (converted: yes/no) predicted from historical labeled data with various attributes. This is a classic supervised learning classification task: the model learns from labeled examples (leads with known conversion outcomes) to predict the class of new leads. Classification is the correct ML type for predicting discrete categories.

Answer

Generative AI

Answer

Reinforcement learning

Answer

Unsupervised learning (clustering)

Question 10

A sales manager wants to implement Einstein Automated Contacts to automatically create contacts from email interactions. The admin enables the feature and assigns the permission set. However, no contacts are being created automatically. What is the most likely reason?

Accepted Answer

The admin did not set up the contact creation criteria in the Einstein Automated Contacts settings.. Einstein Automated Contacts requires the admin to explicitly define the criteria that trigger automatic contact creation from email interactions. Simply enabling the feature and assigning the permission set does not configure the rules for when and how contacts should be created. Without these criteria, the system has no instructions to act upon, so no contacts are generated.

Answer

The users have not logged any emails to Salesforce.

Answer

The feature requires at least 500 emails to be processed before it starts creating contacts.

Answer

The users need to install a plugin for their email client.
