AAISM AI Risk Management Practice Question

You are managing an AI project and notice the model is performing poorly on a subset of data representing a protected class. What is the correct next step in the risk assessment process?

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

Investigate the data representation and training balance for that subgroup.

Performing a root cause analysis on the data used to train that specific segment is the correct diagnostic step.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Immediately delete all training data.

    Why it's wrong here

    This is an extreme and destructive action without investigation.

  • Investigate the data representation and training balance for that subgroup.

    Why this is correct

    Bias is often rooted in data imbalances, which must be investigated.

  • Dismiss the finding as a minor edge case.

    Why it's wrong here

    This ignores the ethical and risk implications of bias.

  • Replace the model architecture with a simpler one.

    Why it's wrong here

    Architecture does not solve dataset bias issues.
