AI0-001 AI Governance and Ethics Practice Question
A company is implementing an AI ethics board. Which TWO responsibilities should the board typically have?
Answer choices
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
✓
Approving or rejecting high-risk AI initiatives
An AI ethics board should oversee AI projects for ethical compliance and approve high-risk AI initiatives. Implementing technical models and auditing data privacy are operational tasks not typically under the board's direct purview.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Approving or rejecting high-risk AI initiatives
Why this is correct
The board holds decision authority over high-risk AI initiatives, approving or rejecting them based on ethical risk assessment. This gatekeeping responsibility matches the stem's expectation that the board governs deployments, ensuring risky projects cannot proceed without ethical sign-off.
- ✗
Writing code for fairness algorithms
Why it's wrong here
An ethics board provides governance, guidance and review of AI use; writing fairness algorithm code is engineering work performed by development teams implementing the board's principles. It is tempting because fairness is a core ethical concern, but the board sets requirements and assesses outcomes rather than authoring implementation code.
- ✓
Reviewing AI projects for ethical compliance and potential biases
Why this is correct
Ethics boards examine AI initiatives against ethical standards and detect bias in data or models, satisfying the stem's compliance-review responsibility. This governance oversight ensures projects align with fairness principles before and during deployment, which is the board's core remit.
- ✗
Developing marketing strategies for AI products
Why it's wrong here
An ethics board governs responsible AI use through policy, risk review and oversight; developing marketing strategies is a commercial function unrelated to ethical governance. It is tempting because AI products need market positioning, but that belongs to product and marketing teams, not an ethics oversight body.
- ✗
Conducting daily data privacy audits
Why it's wrong here
An ethics board sets policy, reviews high-risk use cases and provides oversight; conducting daily data privacy audits is operational work owned by privacy, compliance or security teams. It is tempting because privacy is central to AI ethics, but routine auditing is a recurring control activity, not a governance body's remit.
