AAISM AI Technologies And Controls Practice Question
Which THREE of the following are potential indicators of a 'Model Poisoning' attack occurring during the training phase?
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
✓
Inconsistent model convergence during training
Poisoning often results in degraded accuracy for specific targets (backdoors) or broader performance degradation that is detectable through validation testing.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Increased latency for API requests
Why it's wrong here
Latency is a performance issue, not a sign of poisoning.
- ✓
Inconsistent model convergence during training
Why this is correct
Corrupted data often prevents smooth convergence.
- ✓
High accuracy on training set but poor accuracy on validation set
Why this is correct
Overfitting or poisoning can cause discrepancies between training and validation.
- ✗
Increase in storage costs for the model weights
Why it's wrong here
Storage costs are unrelated to training data integrity.
- ✓
Unexpected behavior when specific input triggers are present
Why this is correct
This is a classic sign of a backdoor attack.
