QuestionQ42

AI Auditing Tools and Techniques

A financial institution operates an AI-based credit-screening system designed to omit gender, race, and sexual orientation from the customer information it collects.

To verify that this control is effective, what should be an IS auditor’s PRIMARY focus?

Explanation

Excluding protected attributes does not prevent discriminatory outcomes when permitted customer attributes act as proxies for gender, race, or sexual orientation. The effectiveness of the control depends primarily on determining whether allowable attributes can be correlated with the excluded information.
