AI0-001 AI Security Practice Question
An organization wants to use a pre-trained language model from a third-party vendor. What is the most important security step before deployment?
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
✓
Vet the model for backdoors and malicious behavior
Vetting the pre-trained model for backdoors or malicious behavior is critical to supply chain security. This may include scanning for anomalies, testing on specific inputs, and reviewing the model's origins.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Host the model on a public cloud
Why it's wrong here
Hosting location does not address the inherent security of the model itself.
- ✓
Vet the model for backdoors and malicious behavior
Why this is correct
Vetting ensures the model does not contain hidden malicious functionality introduced by the supplier.
- ✗
Apply differential privacy to the model
Why it's wrong here
Differential privacy protects training data privacy but does not detect backdoors.
- ✗
Fine-tune the model on internal data
Why it's wrong here
Fine-tuning does not automatically remove backdoors; the model may still contain hidden behaviors.
