In the context of AI governance, which of the following best describes the roles and responsibilities of a developer of a proprietary model? (Choose three.)

Question

Options

• AJoint responsibility for record keeping.
• BPrimary responsibility for ethical design.
• CPrimary responsibility for ethical testing.
• DJoint responsibility for technical performance.
• EPrimary responsibility for regulatory compliance.

• A
  13% (3)
• B
  71% (17)
• D
  17% (4)

Explanation

Developers of proprietary models hold primary responsibility for B (ethical design), C (ethical testing), and E (regulatory compliance) because they control the model's creation from architecture through release - making them the authoritative party for embedding ethics into the design, validating safety through rigorous testing, and ensuring the product meets applicable laws before it reaches deployers or users. Options A and D are incorrect because record keeping and technical performance are shared obligations across the AI supply chain: deployers, operators, and developers all contribute to maintaining logs and influencing real-world performance, making these joint rather than primary developer responsibilities. The exam is testing your ability to distinguish between what the developer owns outright (design, testing, compliance) versus what is co-owned with downstream parties (records, performance).

Memory tip: Think of the developer as the "factory" - they design the product, quality-test it, and must certify it meets regulations before shipping. Once it leaves the factory, performance and paperwork become shared with whoever uses it downstream.
