Question 500

An independent AI auditor reviews this case: An engineering group fine-tunes an LLM with changing data files and writes the resulting weights directly over a production version. Which THREE elements together provide a defensible AI audit conclusion: the corrective control, the evidence to test it, and a verified outcome? Select THREE answers.

  1. Assume a Git commit for application code uniquely identifies the model, training data and build environment.
  2. Review endpoint inventory, credentials, retained artifacts, disposal approvals, legal holds and restoration paths.
  3. Approved model versions can be traced and materially reproduced with recorded dependencies.
  4. Version model artifacts, code, environments, hyperparameters and data references with reproducible promotion records.
  5. Create traceable business, human impact, security and quality requirements with measurable release and acceptance gates.
  6. Inspect image dependencies, seeds, pipelines, registry signatures, lineage and controlled reruns.

Explanation

Correct Answers

C:

The reason it is necessary is: Reproducibility requires more than saving an output weight file or project notebook. Independent audit evidence includes: Inspect image dependencies, seeds, pipelines, registry signatures, lineage and controlled reruns.

D:

The reason it is necessary is: Reproducibility requires more than saving an output weight file or project notebook. This response fits the risk associated with Reproducible model training and configuration management: Version model artifacts, code, environments, hyperparameters and data references with reproducible promotion records.

F:

The reason it is necessary is: Reproducibility requires more than saving an output weight file or project notebook. For this situation: An engineering group fine-tunes an LLM with changing data files and writes the resulting weights directly over a production version.

Incorrect Answers

A:

For this situation: An engineering group fine-tunes an LLM with changing data files and writes the resulting weights directly over a production version.

B:

This option concerns Controlled model retirement and data disposition, which is a related but different AI governance concern. It does not establish control effectiveness for Reproducible model training and configuration management.

E:

This option concerns AI requirements-to-acceptance traceability, which is a related but different AI governance concern. The audit must corroborate: Inspect image dependencies, seeds, pipelines, registry signatures, lineage and controlled reruns.
