- A
Right to explanation of decisions
Article 22 and Recital 71 provide a right to explanation for automated decisions.
- B
Explicit consent from all data subjects
Why wrong: Consent is not always required; other legal bases may apply.
- C
Meaningful information about the logic involved in automated decision-making
GDPR requires transparency about how decisions are made.
- D
Data minimization principles
GDPR requires that only necessary data be processed.
- E
Data retention period of at least 10 years
Why wrong: Retention periods vary; no universal 10-year requirement.
Question 370 of 1,000
AI0-001 AI Governance and Ethics Practice Question
This AI0-001 practice question tests your understanding of ai governance and ethics. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A healthcare AI system is subject to GDPR because it processes patient data. Which THREE requirements must the system satisfy?
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
✓
Right to explanation of decisions
Option A is correct because Article 22 of the GDPR grants data subjects the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects or similarly significant effects. For healthcare AI systems, this means patients have the right to obtain an explanation of the decision reached by the algorithm, such as how a diagnosis or treatment recommendation was derived. This requirement ensures transparency and accountability in high-stakes automated decisions.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Cisco often tests the misconception that GDPR mandates explicit consent for all healthcare AI processing, when in fact other lawful bases (e.g., vital interests, public health) can apply, and the right to explanation is a distinct requirement focused on automated decision-making logic.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Under the hood, the 'right to explanation' is implemented through explainable AI (XAI) techniques such as SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) or LIME (Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations), which generate feature importance scores or local surrogate models to clarify individual predictions. In a real-world scenario, a patient denied insurance coverage by an AI underwriting model could request a breakdown of which factors (e.g., age, lab results) most influenced the denial, forcing the system to provide a human-readable justification rather than a black-box score.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A practitioner preparing for the AI0-001 exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
