AI Ethics & Responsible AI - Practice Questions 2026

Master the complexities of modern technology with the most comprehensive AI Ethics Responsible AI Practice Exams available on Udemy. As artificial intelligence becomes integrated into every facet of business and society, the demand for professionals who understand the ethical implications—ranging from algorithmic bias to data privacy—is skyrocketing. This course is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical ethics and practical application.Why Serious Learners Choose These Practice ExamsNavigating the landscape of Responsible AI requires more than just a surface-level understanding of "good intent." It requires the ability to identify subtle biases, understand shifting global regulations, and implement governance frameworks. Serious learners choose this course because it offers a rigorous environment to test their knowledge against high-quality, research-backed scenarios. Our question bank is meticulously crafted to reflect the types of challenges faced by AI researchers, policy analysts, and data scientists in the industry today.Course StructureThis course is organized into a progressive learning path to ensure you build a solid foundation before tackling complex, multi-layered ethical dilemmas.Basics / Foundations: Focuses on the history of AI ethics, fundamental terminology, and the initial principles defined by major organizations. You will cover the difference between narrow AI and general AI ethics.Core Concepts: Dives into the primary pillars of Responsible AI, including Transparency, Fairness, Accountability, and Privacy. This section ensures you understand the "Why" behind ethical mandates.Intermediate Concepts: Moves into the technicalities of bias detection, data lineage, and explainability (XAI). You will explore how data collection methods impact the downstream ethics of a model.Advanced Concepts: Covers global governance frameworks, the EU AI Act, and corporate AI alignment. This section is designed for those moving into leadership or compliance roles.Real-world Scenarios: Case studies involving healthcare, finance, and autonomous systems. You will be asked to make "lesser of two evils" decisions and justify them based on ethical frameworks.Mixed Revision / Final Test: A comprehensive simulation of a professional certification exam, pulling questions from all previous sections to test your retention and speed.Sample Practice QuestionsQuestion 1A financial institution uses an AI model to determine creditworthiness. During an audit, it is discovered that the model consistently denies loans to individuals from a specific zip code, even though "Race" was not a variable used in the training data. What phenomenon is occurring here?Option 1: Direct DiscriminationOption 2: Proxy DiscriminationOption 3: Data Augmentation ErrorOption 4: Model OverfittingOption 5: Feedback Loop BiasCorrect Answer: Option 2Correct Answer Explanation: Proxy Discrimination occurs when the model uses a variable (like a zip code) that is highly correlated with a protected characteristic (like race), leading to biased outcomes even if the protected characteristic itself is excluded from the dataset.Wrong Answers Explanation:Option 1: Wrong because direct discrimination involves using protected attributes explicitly.Option 3: Data augmentation relates to increasing dataset size, not necessarily the introduction of socio-economic bias.Option 4: Overfitting describes a model that performs well on training data but poorly on new data; it is a performance issue, not an ethical classification of bias.Option 5: A feedback loop occurs when a model's output influences future input; while possible here, the specific use of a correlated variable is defined as a proxy.Question 2Under the principle of "Explainability" (XAI) in Responsible AI, what is the primary goal when deploying a "Black Box" model?Option 1: To ensure the model reaches 100% accuracy.Option 2: To prevent the model from being updated after deployment.Option 3: To provide stakeholders with an understandable rationale for the model's specific outputs.Option 4: To encrypt the data so that it cannot be accessed by unauthorized users.Option 5: To reduce the computational power required to run the algorithm.Correct Answer: Option 3Correct Answer Explanation: Explainability aims to make the decision-making process of an AI system transparent and understandable to human users, ensuring that outputs can be challenged or verified.Wrong Answers Explanation:Option 1: Accuracy is a performance metric, not an explainability metric.Option 2: Freezing updates is a version control strategy, not an explainability goal.Option 4: This refers to Data Security, which is a separate pillar of AI ethics.Option 5: Efficiency is an engineering goal, whereas explainability often requires more computational resources to generate explanations.Question 3Which of the following best describes the "Human-in-the-Loop" (HITL) approach?Option 1: A system where humans perform all data entry but the AI makes all final decisions.Option 2: An AI system that operates entirely without human intervention to avoid human bias.Option 3: Integrating human intervention into the AI's decision-making process to verify or override results.Option 4: A training method where humans are only involved during the initial coding phase.Option 5: A marketing strategy to make AI products seem more relatable to consumers.Correct Answer: Option 3Correct Answer Explanation: Human-in-the-Loop ensures that a human agent can intervene, especially in high-stakes decisions, providing a safety net and accountability layer for AI outputs.Wrong Answers Explanation:Option 1: If the AI makes all final decisions, the human is not truly "in the loop" for the outcome.Option 2: This describes an "Autonomous" or "Out-of-the-loop" system.Option 4: HITL requires involvement during the active operation or iterative training phases, not just the initial setup.Option 5: While it may improve trust, HITL is a technical and ethical governance mechanism, not a marketing tactic.Course FeaturesWelcome to the best practice exams to help you prepare for your AI Ethics Responsible AI journey.
