AAISM AI Risk Management Practice Question
A developer is implementing 'Differential Privacy' on a training dataset. What is the primary trade-off they are managing?
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
✓
Privacy budget (epsilon) vs. model utility/accuracy.
Differential privacy adds noise to training data to preserve privacy, which inherently reduces the utility or accuracy of the model.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Privacy budget (epsilon) vs. model utility/accuracy.
Why this is correct
The privacy budget directly controls the noise level, impacting model accuracy.
- ✗
Model training speed vs. model cost.
Why it's wrong here
Privacy noise has minimal impact on speed or compute cost compared to accuracy.
- ✗
Security of the training pipeline vs. developer productivity.
Why it's wrong here
This is not the technical trade-off of differential privacy.
- ✗
Deployment latency vs. model scalability.
Why it's wrong here
Privacy is a training time constraint, not a serving latency constraint.
