AI0-001 AI Governance and Ethics Practice Question
A company is conducting a vendor AI assessment for a third-party natural language processing service. They need to ensure the vendor's AI governance practices align with their own. Which THREE areas should they evaluate?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse technical performance metrics (like model architecture) with governance-specific evaluation areas (like transparency and bias testing), leading them to select options that sound relevant but fall outside the scope of AI governance during a vendor assessment.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The vendor's data handling and privacy practices
Data handling and privacy practices are a core component of AI governance, ensuring that the vendor's use of customer data complies with regulations like GDPR or CCPA and aligns with the company's own data protection policies. During a vendor AI assessment, evaluating how the vendor collects, stores, processes, and secures data is critical to mitigate risks of data breaches, unauthorized use, or non-compliance, which directly impacts trust and legal liability.
