This AI0-001 practice question tests your understanding of ai security, ethics and governance. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.

Refer to the exhibit. An AI governance review finds that a model was deployed without required ethics approval. Based on the audit log, who is most responsible for the compliance failure?

A
Bob
Bob deployed the model without ethics approval.
B
Alice
Why wrong: Alice trained the model but did not deploy.
C
Carol
Why wrong: Carol rolled back after the issue was detected.
D
System
Why wrong: System detected anomaly, not responsible for deployment.
The answer is Bob, the individual who deployed the model without the required ethics approval. In AI governance, the deployment step is the final gate where compliance checks must be confirmed, making the deployer directly accountable for releasing an unapproved model into production. This scenario tests your understanding of the AI lifecycle accountability chain on the CompTIA AI+ AI0-001 exam, where a common trap is to blame the data scientist (Alice) for training or the system for flagging the anomaly, rather than the person who executed the deployment action. The audit log clearly shows no approval step before Bob’s deployment, isolating his responsibility for the compliance failure. Memory tip: remember "Deployer Decides" — the person who pushes the button owns the compliance outcome, not the builder or the monitor.
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
✓
Bob
Bob is the data scientist who deployed the model to production. The audit log shows that Bob executed the deployment command without first obtaining the required ethics approval. As the individual who performed the action that violated the governance policy, Bob bears primary responsibility for the compliance failure.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Cisco often tests the distinction between who performed the action versus who requested or approved it, leading candidates to incorrectly blame the project manager or ethics officer instead of the deployer.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
In AI governance frameworks, the principle of 'accountability by action' assigns responsibility to the individual who performs the deployment action, not to those who request or approve it. The audit log captures the exact timestamp and user ID of the deployment command, which is the definitive evidence of who executed the action. This mirrors real-world scenarios where compliance failures are traced to the last human action in the CI/CD pipeline, as defined in ISO/IEC 38507 and NIST AI RMF governance controls.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
→Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A practitioner preparing for the AI0-001 exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
