AI Associate Ethical Considerations of AI Practice Question
Which THREE factors should an AI Associate consider when evaluating a model for potential bias?
⚠ Common exam trap
Salesforce often tests the misconception that model complexity or deployment recency are relevant to bias detection, when in fact bias is rooted in data representation and feature correlations with protected attributes.
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
✓
Whether features are correlated with protected attributes.
If a feature is correlated with a protected attribute (e.g., race, gender, age), the model may inadvertently learn and perpetuate discriminatory patterns, even if the protected attribute itself is not used as an input. This is a key source of indirect or proxy bias in machine learning systems.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The complexity of the model architecture.
Why it's wrong here
Complexity does not indicate bias.
- ✓
Whether features are correlated with protected attributes.
Why this is correct
Correlation can lead to proxy discrimination.
- ✓
Disparities in model performance metrics across groups.
Why this is correct
Performance disparities signal bias.
- ✗
The date the model was last deployed.
Why it's wrong here
Deployment date is not a bias factor.
- ✓
Whether the training data is representative of all groups.
Why this is correct
Non-representative data can cause bias.
