Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Map AI-specific risk metrics to existing enterprise risk categories like operational, financial, and reputational risk.
Why this is correct
Mapping ensures AI risk is treated as an extension of existing enterprise risks.
- ✗
Establish a top-down mandate that ignores business unit input to ensure uniformity.
Why it's wrong here
Without business input, the risk appetite may be unrealistic for specific AI use cases.
- ✗
Focus solely on technical model performance metrics to define the organizational risk appetite.
Why it's wrong here
Technical metrics are insufficient for assessing holistic enterprise risk.
- ✗
Create a separate AI-specific risk register that operates independently of the corporate risk register.
Why it's wrong here
Independent registers lead to fragmentation and lack of oversight.
