AIGP Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional Questions and Answers

To evaluate the effectiveness of an AI-based ad recommendation tool, the most relevant metric is the output data, specifically assessing the delta between the prediction and actual ad clicks. This metric directly measures the tool's accuracy and effectiveness in making accurate recommendations that lead to user engagement. While monitoring algorithmic patterns and input data can provide insights into the model's behavior and targeting accuracy, and GPU performance can indicate the robustness and efficiency of the tool, the primary indicator of effectiveness for an ad recommendation tool is how well it predicts actual ad clicks.

The most challenging aspect of managing a data access request in this scenario is dealing with unstructured data that cannot be easily disentangled from other data, including information about other individuals. Unstructured data, such as free-text inputs or social media posts, often lacks a clear structure and may be intermingled with data from multiple individuals, making it difficult to isolate the specific data related to the requester. This complexity poses significant challenges in complying with data access requests under privacy laws. Reference: AIGP Body of Knowledge on Data Subject Rights and Data Management.

When the accuracy of a model deteriorates, the best first step is to conduct champion/challenger testing. This involves deploying a new model (challenger) alongside the current model (champion) to compare their performance. This method helps identify if the new model can perform better under current conditions without immediately discarding the existing model. It provides a controlled environment to test improvements and understand the reasons behind the deterioration. This approach is preferable to directly replacing the model, performing audits, or running red-teaming exercises, which may be subsequent steps based on the findings from the champion/challenger testing.

In selecting the specific type of algorithm for the AI solution, the healthcare network's data science team is most important. This team possesses the technical expertise and understanding of the data, the clinical context, and the performance requirements needed to make an informed decision about which algorithm is most suitable. While the cloud provider and consulting firm can offer support and infrastructure, and the AI governance committee provides oversight, the data science team’s specialized knowledge is crucial for selecting and implementing the appropriate algorithm. Reference: AIGP Body of Knowledge, AI governance and team roles section.

The most significant risk from combining the healthcare network’s existing data with the clinical research partner data is privacy risk. Combining data sets, especially in healthcare, often involves handling sensitive information that could lead to privacy breaches if not managed properly. De-identified data can still pose re-identification risks when combined with other data sets. Ensuring privacy involves implementing robust data protection measures, maintaining compliance with privacy regulations such as HIPAA, and conducting thorough privacy impact assessments. Reference: AIGP Body of Knowledge on Data Privacy and Security.

Retraining an LLM (Large Language Model) is primarily done to improve or maintain its performance as data changes over time, to fine-tune it for specific use cases, and to incorporate new data interpretations to enhance accuracy and relevance. However, ensuring interpretability of the model's predictions is not typically a reason for retraining. Interpretability relates to how easily the outputs of the model can be understood and explained, which is generally addressed through different techniques or methods rather than through the retraining process itself. References to this can be found in the IAPP AIGP Body of Knowledge discussing model retraining and interpretability as separate concepts.

The third-party consultant asked each vendor for information about the diversity of their datasets to assist in ensuring the fairness of the AI system.

Ensuring diverse stakeholder involvement and human oversight helps identify and mitigate potential biases early, and data collection ensures a representative dataset. Reference: AIGP Body of Knowledge on AI Development Lifecycle and Bias Mitigation.

Performing an impact assessment is the best step to mitigate the possibility of discrimination before training and testing the AI solution. An impact assessment, such as a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) or Algorithmic Impact Assessment (AIA), helps identify potential biases and discriminatory outcomes that could arise from the AI system. This process involves evaluating the data and the algorithm for fairness, accountability, and transparency. It ensures that any biases in the data are detected and addressed, thus preventing discriminatory practices and promoting ethical AI deployment. Reference: AIGP Body of Knowledge on Ethical AI and Impact Assessments.

In the context of AI, particularly generative models, "hallucination" refers to the generation of outputs that are not based on the training data and are factually incorrect or non-existent. The scenario described involves the generative AI tool providing incorrect and non-existent information about restaurants, which fits the definition of hallucination. Reference: AIGP BODY OF KNOWLEDGE and various AI literature discussing the limitations and challenges of generative AI models.

The EU AI Act outlines specific penalties and enforcement mechanisms to ensure compliance with its regulations. Among these, fines for violations of banned AI applications can be as high as €35 million or 7% of the global annual turnover of the offending organization, whichever is higher. Proportional caps on fines are applied to SMEs and startups to ensure fairness. General Purpose AI rules are to apply after a 6-month period as a specific provision to ensure that stakeholders have adequate time to comply. However, there is no provision for an "AI Pact" acting as a transitional bridge until the regulations are fully enacted, making option C the correct answer.

The GDPR requires that individuals have the right to not be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, unless specific exceptions apply. One effective control is to establish a human-in-the-loop procedure (D), ensuring human oversight and the ability to contest decisions. This goes beyond just-in-time notices (A), data safeguarding (B), or review rights (C), providing a more robust mechanism to protect individuals' rights.

The GDPR's transparency principle requires that when personal data is processed for automated decision-making, including profiling, data subjects must be informed about the existence of such automated decision-making. Additionally, they must be provided with meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for them. This requirement ensures that data subjects are fully aware of how their personal data is being used and the potential impacts, thereby promoting transparency and trust in the processing activities.

Under the EU regulations, particularly the GDPR, banks using AI for decision-making must inform users about the use of AI and provide mechanisms for users to contest decisions. This is part of ensuring transparency and accountability in automated processing. Explicit consent under the privacy directive (A) and disclosing under the Digital Services Act (B) are not specifically required in this context. An adequacy decision is related to data transfers outside the EU (C).
