Which strategy is MOST effective for penetration testers assessing an AI model against membership inference attacks?

The correct answer is B. Analyzing AI model confidence scores. A membership inference attack determines whether a specific data record was used in the model's training set. The primary signal exploited is model confidence scores: models tend to output higher confidence on data they were trained on versus unseen data. By probing the model wit

Explanation

A membership inference attack determines whether a specific data record was used in the model's training set. The primary signal exploited is model confidence scores: models tend to output higher confidence on data they were trained on versus unseen data. By probing the model with known and unknown records and comparing confidence distributions, a tester can infer membership. Option A (synthetic data) helps defend against, not attack with, membership inference. Option C (disabling logging) is an evasion tactic. Option D (test set accuracy) measures generalization, not membership leakage.
