Why each option is right or wrong
A. Create new internal terminology for the AI ethics program before reviewing external guidance
Benchmarking compares current practices to recognized standards, not newly created internal labels.
B. Use recognized standards to assess current maturity and identify gaps in the program
The stated objective matches the source directly: standards are used to benchmark organizational maturity and identify gaps. Because the organization wants to compare its AI ethics program against recognized guidance and find improvement areas, assessing current maturity against those standards is the appropriate action.
C. Measure only technical model performance to determine whether the ethics program is complete
Organizational maturity and gap identification address the broader program, not only model performance.
D. Delay evaluation until all AI ethics controls have been fully implemented across the organization
Benchmarking is used to identify gaps during maturity assessment, not only after full implementation.
