Question

Options

• AIt helps the organization detect biases and ensure fairness
• BIt enables users to delete and modify their personal data
• CIt prevents unauthorized access to data within the AI system
• DIt allows the organization to process user data in the AI system

• B
  3% (1)
• C
  5% (2)
• D
  92% (36)

Explanation

User consent is the foundational legal and ethical basis that authorizes an organization to collect, store, and process personal data within an AI system. Without valid consent (or another lawful basis), processing personal data is unlawful under major privacy frameworks such as GDPR. This makes consent the prerequisite for all AI-driven data processing activities involving personal information. Detecting biases (A) is a fairness and model governance concern that is independent of consent. Enabling data deletion and modification (B) describes data subject rights (e.g., GDPR's right to erasure and rectification), which are separate mechanisms from consent itself. Preventing unauthorized access (C) is a security control-achieved through access management and encryption-not a function of consent. Consent governs whether data may be used at all, which is why it carries the greatest organizational significance in the privacy context.
