AI0-001 AI Security Practice Question
A company uses a third-party pre-trained language model for a sentiment analysis API. They want to ensure the model has not been backdoored. Which supply chain security practice is MOST effective?
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
✓
Obtain and verify a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for the model
A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) lists all components and dependencies, enabling verification of the model's origin and integrity. The other options are less relevant for detecting backdoors.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Monitor API usage for anomalous patterns
Why it's wrong here
Monitoring can detect attacks but not prevent supply chain backdoors.
- ✗
Use federated learning to train the model
Why it's wrong here
Federated learning trains across decentralized data, but does not verify pre-trained model integrity.
- ✗
Implement differential privacy during training
Why it's wrong here
Differential privacy protects training data privacy, not detect backdoors.
- ✓
Obtain and verify a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for the model
Why this is correct
An SBOM provides transparency into model components and dependencies, helping identify tampered components.
