Question 20
A post-remediation review at an enterprise digital assurance office in Toronto asks whether this weakness has been addressed: An AI screening tool achieves high overall accuracy while a protected demographic group has substantially worse false-negative rates. Which measurable observation is MOST relevant?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the acceptance result specific to algorithmic unfairness. It shows whether the corrective action, 'Evaluate error rates and downstream harm by relevant groups, then investigate and mitigate observed disparity', is working for the documented gap at an enterprise digital assurance office in Toronto. The original issue was: An AI screening tool achieves high overall accuracy while a protected demographic group has substantially worse false-negative rates.
Incorrect Answers
This result would support autonomous agent boundaries, a distinct governance need illustrated by: An agent is permitted to make irreversible account changes on its own because it performed well in a few chat demonstrations. For the reported algorithmic unfairness issue at an enterprise digital assurance office in Toronto, the relevant corrective action is: Evaluate error rates and downstream harm by relevant groups, then investigate and mitigate observed disparity. The offered observation does not establish whether that targeted control succeeded.
This result would support supervised learning limits, a distinct governance need illustrated by: A project promises highly reliable supervised predictions but has only unlabeled historical records and no ground-truth outcomes. For the reported algorithmic unfairness issue at an enterprise digital assurance office in Toronto, the relevant corrective action is: Evaluate error rates and downstream harm by relevant groups, then investigate and mitigate observed disparity. The offered observation does not establish whether that targeted control succeeded.
This result would support generative versus predictive scope, a distinct governance need illustrated by: A procurement team evaluates an open-ended text drafting model solely with a conventional numeric regression error metric. For the reported algorithmic unfairness issue at an enterprise digital assurance office in Toronto, the relevant corrective action is: Evaluate error rates and downstream harm by relevant groups, then investigate and mitigate observed disparity. The offered observation does not establish whether that targeted control succeeded.
