AI0-001 AI Security, Ethics and Governance Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are effective techniques for detecting bias in an AI model?
⚠ Common exam trap
The AI0-001 exam often tests the distinction between model performance metrics (accuracy, confusion matrix) and fairness-specific metrics, leading candidates to mistakenly select cross-validation accuracy or feature importance as bias detection tools.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Fairness metrics such as equal opportunity difference
Fairness metrics such as equal opportunity difference directly quantify bias by measuring the difference in true positive rates between privileged and unprivileged groups. A value of zero indicates perfect fairness, while non-zero values reveal disparate treatment, making it a standard technique for bias detection in AI models.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Fairness metrics such as equal opportunity difference
Why this is correct
Quantifies specific fairness criteria.
- ✗
Feature importance scores
Why it's wrong here
High importance does not directly indicate bias.
- ✗
Confusion matrix on the entire dataset
Why it's wrong here
Without subgroup breakdown, bias may be hidden.
- ✗
Cross-validation accuracy
Why it's wrong here
Accuracy alone does not indicate bias.
- ✓
Disparate impact analysis
Why this is correct
Measures if outcomes disproportionately affect protected groups.
