Isaca AAIA Practice Test 38
Question 370
An independent AI auditor reviews this case: An organization publishes manipulated promotional footage without evaluating relevant content-labeling obligations. Which TWO complementary elements should the auditor seek: an effective corrective control and the most probative independent evidence? Select TWO answers.
- Inspect AIMS scope, roles, risk treatment, audit outcomes, nonconformities and management reviews.
- Match the model family to the task, retain deterministic calculations where appropriate and validate generative outputs against trusted data and human review.
- Assess contextual transparency duties, affected audiences and effective disclosure mechanisms appropriate to use.
- Hide AI-generated content origin entirely and rely on a buried terms-of-service paragraph.
- Inspect UI disclosures, synthesized content labels, user testing, jurisdiction analysis and change approvals.
Explanation
Correct Answers
C:The reason it is necessary is: Disclosing AI involvement and limitations supports informed human interaction but is not a substitute for other controls. For this situation: An organization publishes manipulated promotional footage without evaluating relevant content-labeling obligations.
E:The reason it is necessary is: Disclosing AI involvement and limitations supports informed human interaction but is not a substitute for other controls. The corrective action is: Assess contextual transparency duties, affected audiences and effective disclosure mechanisms appropriate to use.
Incorrect Answers
A:This option concerns ISO IEC 42001 AI management system controls, which is a related but different AI governance concern. For this situation: An organization publishes manipulated promotional footage without evaluating relevant content-labeling obligations.
B:This option concerns Predictive versus generative model task fit, which is a related but different AI governance concern. The decisive principle here is: Disclosing AI involvement and limitations supports informed human interaction but is not a substitute for other controls.
D:This attractive shortcut does not resolve the AI transparency and meaningful disclosure weakness: Hide AI-generated content origin entirely and rely on a buried terms-of-service paragraph. For this situation: An organization publishes manipulated promotional footage without evaluating relevant content-labeling obligations.
