AI0-001 AI Governance and Ethics Practice Question
An AI governance team is implementing the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. They have identified a high-risk AI system and are in the 'Measure' function. Which activity is most appropriate for this function?
⚠ Common exam trap
The AI0-001 exam often tests the distinction between the NIST AI RMF functions (Map, Measure, Manage, Govern) by presenting risk mitigation actions (like implementing controls) as plausible activities for the 'Measure' function, when they actually belong to the 'Manage' function.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Conduct bias and fairness impact assessments on the model
In the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF), the 'Measure' function focuses on assessing and analyzing risks associated with AI systems. For a high-risk AI system, conducting bias and fairness impact assessments is a core activity within this function, as it quantifies and evaluates potential harms related to fairness, accuracy, and transparency. This aligns with the framework's emphasis on quantitative and qualitative risk measurement before moving to risk treatment in the 'Manage' function.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Conduct bias and fairness impact assessments on the model
Why this is correct
Measuring risks includes testing for bias and fairness, which directly aligns with the Measure function.
- ✗
Implement technical controls to mitigate identified risks
Why it's wrong here
Implementing controls is part of the Manage function, which addresses and mitigates risks.
- ✗
Document the system's intended purpose and data sources
Why it's wrong here
Documenting intended use and data sources is part of the Map function, which identifies contexts.
- ✗
Establish an AI ethics board to oversee risk decisions
Why it's wrong here
Establishing an ethics board falls under the Govern function, which sets the organizational context.
