A security company needs to identify individuals in a crowd by matching their faces against a database of known persons of interest. The system must detect faces, verify the identities, and provide a confidence score. Which Azure Computer Vision capability should they use?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Best answer

Facial recognition

Facial recognition uses face detection and matching against a known database to identify individuals, exactly as required for this security scenario.

B

Distractor review

Optical character recognition (OCR)

OCR extracts text from images, such as license plates or signs; it cannot recognize or identify human faces.

C

Distractor review

Image classification

Image classification assigns a single label to an entire image (e.g., 'crowd') but does not detect or identify individual people.

D

Distractor review

Object detection

Object detection finds and locates objects like people, cars, etc., but it does not identify specific individuals; it only provides bounding boxes and object classes.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.

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.
  • Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.

TExam Day Tips

  • Underline the problem statement mentally.
  • 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.

Question 1

A developer wants to build a virtual assistant that can understand user intents such as 'Book a flight' or 'Check weather' and extract relevant entities like destination and date. The developer has a small set of labeled example utterances. Which Azure AI Language feature should the developer use?

Question 2

A developer is building a customer support chatbot using Azure OpenAI. The chatbot should never reveal its system instructions or internal configuration. The developer wants to add a rule at the beginning of the conversation to prevent prompt injection attacks. Which technique should they use?

Question 3

A developer is using Azure OpenAI Service to generate product descriptions from technical specifications. The generated descriptions sometimes include plausible-sounding but incorrect details (hallucinations). The developer wants to ensure the model's responses are strictly based on the provided product data and does not add any external or invented information. Which approach should the developer use?

Question 4

A developer is using Azure OpenAI with GPT-4 to build a chatbot that answers legal questions based on a company's internal policy documents. The developer wants the model's responses to be maximally deterministic and factual, avoiding any creative or speculative language. Which parameter should the developer set to the lowest possible value in the API call?

Question 5

A developer is using Azure OpenAI to generate creative product descriptions. The outputs are often repetitive and lack variety. The developer wants to increase the diversity of the generated text while still keeping it coherent. Which parameter should the developer increase?

Question 6

A developer is using Azure OpenAI Service to generate product descriptions. They want the output to be highly focused and deterministic, with less randomness. Which parameter should they decrease?

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this AI-900 question test?

Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Facial recognition — Facial recognition in Azure Computer Vision (via the Face API) can detect human faces and then match them against a verified set of faces to identify individuals. Optical character recognition (OCR) is for reading text from images. Image classification labels an entire image with a category. Object detection finds and locates objects of many types within an image but does not perform person-specific identification. Therefore, facial recognition is the correct service for identifying known individuals from a crowd.
