QuestionQ1

AI Governance and Risk

Which of the following would BEST prevent a generative AI model from distributing inaccurate medical research results?

Explanation

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) retrieves relevant, trusted medical research at response time and provides it as grounding context for the model, reducing inaccurate or fabricated results. Lower temperature makes outputs less variable but does not validate their factual accuracy.

QuestionQ2

AI Auditing Tools and Techniques

A financial services company is developing AI models to predict customer credit risk. To lessen privacy concerns, the company chooses to train the models primarily with synthetic data. Which of the following is an IS auditor’s BEST recommendation for evaluating synthetic-data risk?

Explanation

Synthetic data must be validated for quality and fitness for purpose because it can fail to represent the real population accurately or can introduce distortions and bias. Validation helps ensure the training data supports reliable credit-risk model outcomes while preserving the intended privacy benefits.

QuestionQ3

AI Operations

An IS auditor is examining a dataset containing fields related to a restaurant's food-delivery process. Which of the following data-preparation techniques should be used to ensure that no individual feature dominates and that all fields are weighted appropriately in the AI model's correlations?

Explanation

Feature scaling places numeric values on comparable ranges, preventing a feature with a comparatively large magnitude or variance from exerting disproportionate influence on correlations and model training.

QuestionQ4

AI Auditing Tools and Techniques

The internal audit department of a large law firm intends to implement an AI solution to review and analyze contracts stored in its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Which of the following AI technologies is MOST suitable for this requirement?

Explanation

Natural language processing (NLP) enables systems to understand, extract, classify, and analyze information in unstructured contract text, making it well suited to automated contract review and analysis.

QuestionQ5

AI Governance and Risk

An IS auditor has found that an organization’s AI system is less accurate than the required threshold and recommends that management implement cross-referencing of multiple models to produce more accurate results. This is an example of which type of risk response?

Explanation

Cross-referencing multiple models is a risk-reducing control intended to improve AI-output accuracy and reduce the risk associated with inaccurate results. Implementing controls to reduce risk is risk mitigation.
