Which TWO practices help ensure accountability in AI systems?

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

Assign a human owner for each AI system.

Option B is correct because assigning a human owner for each AI system establishes clear accountability, ensuring that a specific individual is responsible for the system's behavior, decisions, and compliance with ethical guidelines. This practice aligns with the principle of human oversight, which is critical for maintaining trust and addressing failures in AI systems.

Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

  • Blame the AI system for mistakes to protect employees.

    Why it's wrong here

    Blame should be attributed to humans.

  • Assign a human owner for each AI system.

    Why this is correct

    Human ownership ensures responsibility.

  • Automate all decisions to eliminate human error.

    Why it's wrong here

    Automation without oversight reduces accountability.

  • Implement logging and auditing of model decisions.

    Why this is correct

    Logging enables review and accountability.

    Related concept

    Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.

  • Open-source the model code to share responsibility.

    Why it's wrong here

    Open-sourcing does not assign responsibility.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

Salesforce often tests the distinction between technical transparency (like open-sourcing code) and operational accountability (like assigning a human owner), leading candidates to mistakenly choose open-sourcing as a sufficient accountability practice.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

In practice, assigning a human owner involves defining roles such as an AI Ethics Officer or a Model Risk Manager, who is responsible for monitoring model drift, reviewing audit logs, and ensuring compliance with frameworks like the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. This owner must have the authority to halt or modify the system if it deviates from expected behavior, which is critical in regulated industries like finance or healthcare where AI decisions can have legal consequences.

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.

TExam Day Tips

  • 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.

Key takeaway

Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Real-world example

How this comes up in practice

A practitioner preparing for the AI Associate exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
