Question 180

An independent AI auditor reviews this case: A city services chatbot identifies service outage risk but excludes misleading advice and inaccurate accessibility assistance. Which TWO complementary elements should the auditor seek: an effective corrective control and the most probative independent evidence? Select TWO answers.

  1. Develop use-case-specific scenarios covering people, business process, privacy, safety, security and model behavior.
  2. Threat-model model-specific abuse paths, adversary access, safeguards and residual exposure.
  3. Reuse a generic network security risk list and conclude all AI-specific adverse decisions are covered.
  4. Review use-case map, stakeholders, failure modes, risk register, impact assumptions and challenge workshops.
  5. Inspect system purpose, actors, changes, market placement, impact, legal analysis and current phased applicability.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

The reason it is necessary is: AI risk assessment must consider intended context and foreseeable misuse, not only traditional IT incidents. For this situation: A city services chatbot identifies service outage risk but excludes misleading advice and inaccurate accessibility assistance.

D:

The corrective action is: Develop use-case-specific scenarios covering people, business process, privacy, safety, security and model behavior.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This option concerns Adversarial risk and AI misuse scenarios, which is a related but different AI governance concern. For this situation: A city services chatbot identifies service outage risk but excludes misleading advice and inaccurate accessibility assistance.

C:

It misses the key control principle: AI risk assessment must consider intended context and foreseeable misuse, not only traditional IT incidents.

E:

This option concerns EU AI Act role and risk classification, which is a related but different AI governance concern. For this situation: A city services chatbot identifies service outage risk but excludes misleading advice and inaccurate accessibility assistance.

Question 181

A governance and assurance review uncovers the following: A pricing model fails a fairness test yet the business owner marks its risk closed after publishing an ethics policy. What is the MOST appropriate risk-based audit recommendation that addresses the root control weakness? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Threat-model model-specific abuse paths, adversary access, safeguards and residual exposure.
  2. Document inherent versus residual risk using tested control effectiveness and authorized business acceptance.
  3. Close risk solely because a remediation ticket was opened or a broad values statement was issued.
  4. Define drift indicators and use-case-specific revalidation triggers with approved mitigation decisions.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The reason it is necessary is: Mitigation exists only when control performance reduces measured exposure; a planned action is not risk reduction. Independent audit evidence includes: Inspect initial impact, treatment choice, operating tests, risk acceptance authority and current residual metrics.

A:

This option concerns Adversarial risk and AI misuse scenarios, which is a related but different AI governance concern. It does not establish control effectiveness for Residual AI risk acceptance and mitigation efficacy.

C:

This attractive shortcut does not resolve the Residual AI risk acceptance and mitigation efficacy weakness: Close risk solely because a remediation ticket was opened or a broad values statement was issued.

D:

This option concerns Concept drift and changing customer behavior, which is a related but different AI governance concern. It does not establish control effectiveness for Residual AI risk acceptance and mitigation efficacy.

Question 182

A risk-based audit engagement examines this operating condition: A pricing model fails a fairness test yet the business owner marks its risk closed after publishing an ethics policy. Which principle BEST explains why the observed practice is a material governance or control concern? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Risk classification and provider/deployer roles affect obligations; they cannot be assumed from product branding.
  2. Mitigation exists only when control performance reduces measured exposure; a planned action is not risk reduction.
  3. Close risk solely because a remediation ticket was opened or a broad values statement was issued.
  4. Data and concept distributions evolve; model performance can decay even when code and infrastructure remain unchanged.

Explanation
