5. Bias in Computing and Artificial Intelligence Online Quiz Questions

True or false: A computing system can produce biased results even when no individual involved in creating it intends to discriminate.

A survey about access to public services is conducted only online. Which type of bias is most directly illustrated if people with limited internet access are underrepresented?

True or false: If an AI system has high overall accuracy, it is necessarily fair across all demographic groups.

What is the specific two-word term for a reviewer trusting a computer-generated score too much?

Which practices can help reveal whether an AI system performs differently for relevant groups? Select all correct choices.

A health-risk model uses medical spending as a proxy for health needs, even though spending differs because people have unequal access to care. Which type of bias is most directly involved?

What two-word category describes bias arising from institutions, policies, infrastructures, and social practices that advantage some groups and disadvantage others?

Which statements accurately describe limitations or risks in bias mitigation and evaluation? Select all correct choices.

A company is considering an AI hiring tool trained on records of past hires. Which plan best addresses the material's concerns about historical bias, proxy variables, and accountability?

Why is fairness in an automated decision-making system an ongoing governance and evaluation responsibility rather than a one-time technical certification? Explain how an organization should address this responsibility throughout the system life cycle.

True or false: A model validated on one population can be assumed to perform equally well when deployed to a substantially different population.

Which safeguards are recommended when deploying an AI system that can make high-impact decisions? Select all correct choices.

A company trains a hiring model on records from a workforce that was historically dominated by men. The model learns that characteristics associated with men predict hiring success. Which type of bias best describes this problem?

A developer removes a race field before training a model but leaves ZIP code and school attended as features. What is the most accurate conclusion?

Which statement best explains why overall accuracy is not sufficient to establish that an AI system is fair?

True or false: Adding a human reviewer to an AI decision-making process automatically removes bias from the system.

True or false: A large dataset is automatically a fair dataset.

What term describes a reviewer's tendency to trust a computer-generated score too much?

How many continuing risk-management functions does the NIST AI Risk Management Framework identify? Enter the number as a whole number.

A health-risk model uses medical spending as a proxy for health needs, even though spending is affected by unequal access to care. What specific type of data bias is this?

What evaluation approach would compare outcomes for older women with disabilities as a combined group rather than examining age, gender, and disability only one at a time?

A résumé-screening model trained on applicants for one technical role is later used to rank applicants for a different role with a different population. Which problem is most directly illustrated?

A speech-recognition system is trained almost entirely on recordings from speakers with one regional accent. It performs much less accurately for speakers with other accents. Which type of bias best describes this problem?

A health-risk model uses a person's past medical spending as a proxy for the person's health needs. The model systematically underestimates the needs of people who have had less access to medical care. Which problem is most directly illustrated?

A risk model is 95% accurate overall, but its error rate is much higher for a smaller demographic group. Which conclusion is best supported by the material?

A recruiter treats an AI-generated applicant ranking as objective and stops examining qualified applicants who were ranked lower. Which concept best explains the recruiter's behavior?

A screening system uses employment records. People who live in areas with unreliable transportation have more gaps in those records, and the system penalizes applicants with such gaps. Which NIST category most directly describes the underlying unequal transportation condition?
