AI0-001 AI Security Practice Question
A healthcare organization is deploying an AI model to predict patient readmission risk. They must comply with regulations that protect patient privacy. Which TWO techniques should they implement to enhance privacy preservation?
⚠ Common exam trap
The AI0-001 exam often tests the misconception that any regularization or optimization technique (like dropout or quantization) can provide privacy, when in fact only methods that explicitly limit information leakage (like differential privacy and federated learning) are designed for that purpose.
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
✓
Differential privacy
Differential privacy (B) is correct because it adds calibrated noise to the training data or model outputs, ensuring that the inclusion or exclusion of any single patient's record does not significantly affect the model's predictions. This provides a formal mathematical guarantee of privacy, which is essential for complying with regulations like HIPAA that protect patient data.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Data augmentation
Why it's wrong here
Data augmentation expands training data but does not protect privacy.
- ✓
Differential privacy
Why this is correct
Differential privacy limits information leakage about individuals.
- ✗
Model quantization
Why it's wrong here
Model quantization reduces model size but does not provide privacy guarantees.
- ✓
Federated learning
Why this is correct
Federated learning keeps data on local devices, sharing only model updates.
- ✗
Dropout regularization
Why it's wrong here
Dropout prevents overfitting but does not address privacy.
