Question

A post-incident investigation finds that an AI-powered anti-money laundering system inadvertently allowed suspicious transactions because certain risk signals were disabled to reduce false positives. Which of the following governance failures does this BEST demonstrate?

Options

  • ALack of sufficient computing resources for the AI system
  • BExcessive reliance on external consultants for model design
  • CAbsence of metrics and dashboards for analysts
  • DInsufficient model validation and change control processes

Explanation

This scenario demonstrates insufficient model validation and change control processes (D). Disabling risk signals is a configuration change to the model's behavior. Robust change control would require impact assessment, testing, and sign-off before such changes are made - ensuring that reducing false positives does not unacceptably increase false negatives (missed fraud). Computing resources (A) and consultant reliance (B) are unrelated to this incident. Absent dashboards (C) might obscure the problem but don't explain why the change was allowed to proceed without proper validation.
