Question 20

A production-readiness review of responsible ai, governance and assurance gives the responsible AI council new evidence. The unresolved requirement concerns reviewer and approval evidence. The current design does not yet establish how a model change should be handled. What is the best design choice?

Define an approval gate proportional to action risk.
Link a model change to reviewer and approval evidence.
Preserve auditable evidence of approvals, changes, data movement, and exceptions rather than relying on informal governance decisions.
Require an explanation appropriate to a high-impact decision.
Record the control owner and evidence source, then validate the design against responsible-AI, residency, audit, and governance requirements.

Correct Answer: B

Correct Answer

Answer B is correct because This is correct because it applies the reserved architecture decision—link a model change to reviewer and approval evidence—to the decisive constraint in the scenario. It keeps the action at the appropriate responsible ai, governance and assurance boundary and produces a result that can be verified before wider deployment.

Answer A is incorrect because This is not the best choice because it addresses the adjacent decision ‘define an approval gate proportional to action risk’ rather than the scenario’s decisive requirement. Although that action can be valid within responsible ai, governance and assurance, selecting it here would leave the stated constraint unresolved or move the design to the wrong stage.

Answer C is incorrect because This safeguard can be important in a broader production design, but it is a supporting control rather than the primary decision required by this scenario. Selecting it alone would leave the core architecture choice unresolved.

Question 21

A pilot for responsible ai, governance and assurance reaches a decision point for the audit and assurance team. The unresolved requirement concerns reproducible versions. The current design does not yet establish how grounding-source changes should be handled. What should the architect recommend?

Maintain an inventory of deployed agents and owners.
Validate the configured processing region against stated policy.
Record grounding-source changes with reproducible versions.
Distinguish storage location from transient processing location and do not treat the two conditions as equivalent.
Design human oversight with genuine intervention authority.

Correct Answer: C

Correct Answer

Answer C is correct because This is correct because it applies the reserved architecture decision—record grounding-source changes with reproducible versions—to the decisive constraint in the scenario. It keeps the action at the appropriate responsible ai, governance and assurance boundary and produces a result that can be verified before wider deployment.

Question 22

A pilot for responsible ai, governance and assurance reaches a decision point for the compliance architecture team. The current solution leaves actor identity in deployment audit records unresolved, and the gap is now affecting the stated business or technical requirement. What is the best design choice?

Set an exception review process with an expiry.
Include telemetry exports in a residency review in the architecture or business-case boundary before comparing alternatives.
Link a model change to reviewer and approval evidence.
Preserve actor identity in deployment audit records.
Disclose the agent role when user expectations require it.

Correct Answer: D

Question 23

A production-readiness review of responsible ai, governance and assurance gives the audit and assurance team new evidence. The unresolved requirement concerns unauthorized alteration. The current design does not yet establish how audit evidence should be handled. Which approach best fits the requirement?

Assess cross-border transfer introduced by a connector.
Define incident escalation for cross-team agent failures.
Evaluate accessibility barriers in an AI experience.
Record grounding-source changes with reproducible versions.
Protect audit evidence against unauthorized alteration.

Correct Answer: E

Correct Answer
