AI0-001 AI Security, Ethics and Governance Practice Question
A healthcare startup deploys an AI model to predict patient readmission rates. An internal audit reveals that the model consistently underestimates readmission risk for non-native English speakers. According to AI ethics principles, what is the most appropriate course of action?
⚠ Common exam trap
The AI0-001 exam often tests the misconception that adding a disclaimer or adjusting sample sizes post-hoc is sufficient to address bias, when in fact the ethical requirement is to fix the data or model at the training stage to ensure fairness.
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
✓
Retrain the model with a more representative dataset that includes diverse language backgrounds
It directly addresses the root cause of the bias: the training data lacks sufficient representation from non-native English speakers, leading to systematic underestimation of readmission risk for that group. Retraining with a more representative dataset aligns with the AI ethics principle of fairness by ensuring the model learns patterns across all demographic groups equally, rather than masking the issue with disclaimers or manipulating sample sizes.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Add a confidence score disclaimer to model outputs
Why it's wrong here
Explanation alone does not correct the bias; the model needs retraining.
- ✗
Reduce the sample size of non-native English speakers to balance the dataset
Why it's wrong here
Reducing data can increase bias and reduce model performance.
- ✗
Continue using the model as is, since overall accuracy is acceptable
Why it's wrong here
Ignoring biased outcomes is unethical and could lead to disparate impact.
- ✓
Retrain the model with a more representative dataset that includes diverse language backgrounds
Why this is correct
Retraining with balanced data addresses the root cause of bias.
