Question

Which of the following controls would BEST help to prevent data poisoning in AI models?

Options

  • AIncreasing the size of the training data set
  • BImplementing a strict data validation mechanism

Explanation

Data poisoning attacks inject corrupted, adversarially crafted, or malicious records into the training pipeline to manipulate model behavior. Strict data validation - including schema enforcement, anomaly detection, provenance checks, and integrity verification - intercepts and rejects malicious inputs before they can corrupt the training dataset. Increasing dataset size (A) dilutes but does not eliminate poisoned samples. Continuous monitoring (C) may detect degraded performance after the fact but doesn't prevent poisoning at ingestion. Updating the foundational model (D) doesn't protect against future poisoning attempts.
