A project manager is leading a project to implement a new AI recruiting tool. A stakeholder raises a concern that the AI model might inadvertently discriminate against certain demographics, violating Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws. The model has already been trained.<br/><br/>What is the BEST way for the project manager to address this compliance threat?

Answer options:

Proceed with the launch and monitor for complaints during the first month.

Add a disclaimer that the tool is in beta and results should be verified manually.

Commission an independent bias audit of the algorithm before release.

Ask the development team if they used a diverse dataset for training.

How to approach this question

The threat is 'Potential Discrimination/Legal Violation'. The response must be 'Verify/Audit' to confirm the threat before acting.

Full Answer

C.Commission an independent bias audit of the algorithm before release.✓ Correct

When a specific compliance threat (bias/discrimination) is identified, the PM must determine the validity of the threat. An independent bias audit (C) provides the necessary data to decide whether the tool is legally safe to deploy. Proceeding (A) is reckless.

Common mistakes

Choosing A (monitor in production) which is too late for legal compliance.
