Question 7
Domain 2 — AI Operations, Lifecycle, and Control EnvironmentWhat is a primary objective during the "identify and report" phase of an AI-specific incident response plan?
Correct answer: D
Explanation
During the "identify and report" phase, the goal is to spot signs of an incident early, including "anomalies or unexpected model outputs." This matters because AI-specific incident response starts with recognizing unusual behavior so it can be reported and investigated before it causes broader harm.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. Update all training datasets
B. Assign financial penalties to users
C. Terminate all AI model deployments
D. Detect anomalies or unexpected model outputs
The “identify and report” phase is the earliest detection stage in an AI incident response workflow, so the objective is to notice abnormal behavior in the model’s outputs or performance and escalate it promptly. In practice, that means flagging deviations from expected behavior—such as hallucinated, unsafe, or otherwise unexpected outputs—before containment or remediation steps begin.
