AI0-001 AI Security, Ethics and Governance Practice Question
An AI development team is building a system to detect fraudulent transactions. They want to ensure the model complies with regulations requiring that individuals can question automated decisions. Which governance element is most relevant?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse governance principles like data minimization or differential privacy (which deal with data handling and privacy) with the specific regulatory requirement for transparency and contestability of automated decisions, which is the right to explanation.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Right to explanation
The right to explanation is a governance principle that requires automated decision-making systems to provide individuals with meaningful information about how decisions are made. In the context of fraudulent transaction detection, this regulation ensures that a customer can question why a transaction was flagged, and the model must be able to provide an interpretable rationale. This directly aligns with the scenario's requirement for compliance with regulations allowing individuals to question automated decisions.
