Watch out for

Common Guidelines for Responsible AI exam traps

  • Answering from memory before reading the full scenario.
  • Missing a constraint such as cost, availability, security, scope or command context.
  • Choosing a broad answer when the question asks for the most specific fix.
  • Ignoring why the wrong options are tempting.

7

Which TWO practices help ensure transparency in AI systems? (Choose 2)

Easy
8

A healthcare organization is developing a clinical decision support system using Amazon Bedrock with a large language model (LLM) to analyze patient symptoms and suggest potential diagnoses. The system must comply with HIPAA and internal responsible AI guidelines. During testing, the model occasionally generates diagnoses that are inconsistent with established medical guidelines and shows a tendency to recommend more aggressive treatments for patients from certain demographic groups. The team has already implemented data encryption, access controls, and basic content filtering. They need to further reduce biased and unsafe outputs without delaying the deployment timeline. What should the team do next?

Hard
9

A company uses an AI system to automate loan approvals. The model uses demographic features and achieves high accuracy, but the company wants to ensure compliance with responsible AI guidelines. Which practice best balances performance and fairness?

Hard
10

A hospital uses an AI system to prioritize patients for organ transplant based on predicted survival rates. The system was trained on historical data that includes socioeconomic factors. A review reveals that the system systematically assigns lower priority to patients from lower-income neighborhoods, even when medical urgency is similar. The hospital's ethics board demands an immediate remedy. The data science team is small and must act quickly. What should the hospital do to address this fairness issue most effectively?

Easy
11

A healthcare startup deploys a model to predict patient readmission risk using Amazon SageMaker. After deployment, the model shows higher false-positive rates for a specific age group. What is the most responsible first step?

Medium
12

A data scientist wants to detect potential bias in a binary classification model before deployment. Which AWS service can analyze the model's predictions across different demographic groups?

Easy
13

Refer to the exhibit. A team is configuring a SageMaker Model Bias job. The baseline job has been completed. However, the bias job fails with a resource not found error. What is the most likely cause?

Hard
14

A research lab uses Amazon SageMaker to train a deep learning model for medical diagnosis. They need to ensure the model's decisions are interpretable to clinicians. Which SageMaker feature provides local and global feature importance?

Hard
15

A team is developing an AI system and wants to document key information such as intended use, performance benchmarks, and limitations. According to AWS best practices for responsible AI, what should they create?

Easy
16

A media company uses a generative AI model to automatically create image captions for user-uploaded photos. During quality assurance, testers discover that the model sometimes generates captions that include stereotypes based on gender and race, even when the photos do not contain people. For example, a photo of a kitchen produces captions like 'woman cooking,' and a photo of a sports car generates 'man driving.' The company wants to launch the feature soon but recognizes the reputational risk. They have a limited budget and need to implement a solution that reduces harmful stereotypes without overly restricting the captions' creativity. The team has access to the model's training data, which is a large public dataset of image-caption pairs. Which approach should the team prioritize?

Hard
17

Which THREE considerations are important when implementing responsible AI for a production NLP system? (Choose three.)

Hard
18

After deploying a model, a company notices that the distribution of the input features has shifted compared to the training data. Which feature of Amazon SageMaker Model Monitor can alert them to this change?

Easy
19

An e-commerce company uses a recommendation system built with Amazon Personalize. They want to explain to customers why certain products are recommended. Which AWS service can provide model explanations?

Medium
20

A media company uses Amazon Transcribe for automatic speech recognition. They discover the model has higher error rates for non-native English speakers. Which Responsible AI principle are they failing to uphold?

Easy
21

A government agency is deploying an AI system to detect fraudulent benefit claims. The system uses a neural network trained on historical claims data, which includes a disproportionate number of false positives from a particular ethnic group due to historical over-policing. The agency must ensure the system does not perpetuate discrimination. They have a rigorous testing procedure but limited budget. The project lead wants to balance fairness with detection performance. Which combination of steps should they prioritize?

Medium
22

A company uses Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth to label a dataset for a binary classifier. To reduce labeling bias, which workforce configuration is most appropriate?

Medium
23

A company uses Amazon Comprehend to analyze customer sentiment. They discover the model performs poorly on text with slang from underrepresented groups. What is the most responsible action?

Medium
24

An AI team uses the IAM policy shown in the exhibit to control endpoint creation. Why does this policy support responsible AI?

Medium
25

A large e-commerce company uses a recommendation system to suggest products to customers. Recently, a data scientist noticed that the model's recommendations for high-value luxury items are predominantly shown to users in affluent zip codes, while users in less affluent areas rarely see these items, even if they have searched for them. The company is concerned about fairness and wants to ensure all customers have equal access to recommendations regardless of location. The current model uses collaborative filtering on historical purchase data. The team needs to modify the system without sacrificing overall recommendation accuracy. Which action best addresses the fairness concern while maintaining performance?

Medium
26

A financial services company deploys a generative AI chatbot for customer support. They want to prevent the chatbot from generating harmful or misleading information. Which AWS service can help monitor and filter responses?

Hard
32

A financial services company uses a machine learning model to automatically reject credit card transactions suspected of fraud. The model was trained on transaction data from the past two years. Over the last three months, the model's false positive rate has increased significantly, causing legitimate transactions to be declined and leading to customer complaints. The company needs to restore the model's accuracy quickly. Initial analysis shows that the distribution of transaction amounts and locations has shifted compared to the training period. The data science team is under pressure to deploy an update within a week. Which approach should they take to most effectively address the issue while adhering to responsible AI guidelines?
