Question

To confirm the fairness of AI model decisions, the BEST way to collect reliable evidence during an AI audit is by:

Options

  • AAnalyzing system metadata.
  • BTesting the model with a curated sample data set.
  • CInterviewing developers.
  • DObserving the system's interactions with end users.

Explanation

Testing the model with a curated sample dataset (B) provides objective, reproducible, and directly observable evidence of how the model behaves across different subgroups, edge cases, and sensitive attributes. A well-designed test set allows auditors to measure outcomes across demographic groups and detect discriminatory patterns quantitatively. Analyzing system metadata (A) reveals configuration details but not decision-level fairness. Interviewing developers (C) provides intent and design context but not empirical proof of fairness. Observing end-user interactions (D) is limited in scope, uncontrolled, and cannot systematically cover the range of scenarios needed to assess fairness.
