Sample questions

Try each one before opening the answer. Every option is explained, with the Google Cloud documentation page that proves it.

Question 1 · choose 1

Analysts at a health insurer must join claims and pharmacy datasets by member, without seeing member IDs. A small, authorized fraud team must be able to recover the real ID when it investigates a case. Which technique fits?

  1. ARedacting the member IDs from both of the datasets
  2. BPseudonymization with a reversible, two-way token
  3. CMasking every member ID with asterisk characters
  4. DGeneralizing member IDs into numeric ranges
Show the answer and why
  • ARedacting the member IDs from both of the datasets

    Incorrect

    Redaction removes the value entirely, so the datasets can no longer be joined by member and nothing can be recovered.

  • BPseudonymization with a reversible, two-way token

    Correct

    Pseudonymization replaces values with cryptographic tokens; consistent tokens keep the datasets joinable, and a two-way token can be reversed with the same key by those allowed to use it.

  • CMasking every member ID with asterisk characters

    Incorrect

    Character masking hides the value but destroys it as a join key and cannot be reversed.

  • DGeneralizing member IDs into numeric ranges

    Incorrect

    Bucketing into ranges suits numbers such as ages; it breaks one-to-one matching of members and cannot be reversed.

Anonymizing transformations such as redaction and masking are irreversible; pseudonymization keeps data useful and, with two-way tokens, recoverable under control.

Question 2 · choose 1

A recruiting model trained on ten years of a company's past hiring decisions ranks applicants from some groups consistently lower. Which step best addresses the cause?

  1. AAnalyze the training data and compare results by subgroup
  2. BRetrain a larger model with more parameters on the same history
  3. CLower the temperature so rankings become consistent
  4. DAdd a content filter for harmful language
Show the answer and why
  • AAnalyze the training data and compare results by subgroup

    Correct

    Models can amplify biases in their training data. Analyzing the data and comparing outcomes across subgroups finds where the skew comes from and whether a fix works.

  • BRetrain a larger model with more parameters on the same history

    Incorrect

    A bigger model trained on the same skewed history can reproduce the same pattern.

  • CLower the temperature so rankings become consistent

    Incorrect

    Consistency is not fairness; a consistently biased ranking is still biased.

  • DAdd a content filter for harmful language

    Incorrect

    Content filters block categories such as hate speech in text; this bias shows up in scores, not in offensive words.

Fairness problems usually start in the data. Subgroup analysis is how you see them and how you check that a fix works.

Question 3 · choose 1

A lender's credit model on Agent Platform approves or declines small business loans. Applicants who are declined have a right to know which factors drove the decision. Which capability helps the lender explain each decision?

  1. AA more accurate model trained on the same inputs
  2. BFeature attributions returned with each prediction
  3. CGrounding the model's answers with Google Search results
  4. DModel Monitoring dashboards for the model
Show the answer and why
  • AA more accurate model trained on the same inputs

    Incorrect

    Better accuracy does not tell an applicant why the model decided as it did.

  • BFeature attributions returned with each prediction

    Correct

    When you request explanations, Agent Platform returns predictions with feature attribution scores that show how much each input feature contributed to that result.

  • CGrounding the model's answers with Google Search results

    Incorrect

    Grounding links generated answers to sources; it does not explain a credit model's prediction.

  • DModel Monitoring dashboards for the model

    Incorrect

    Watching a model's health over time does not explain an individual decision.

Explainability means showing why a model produced a particular output; feature attributions do that for each prediction and can also expose bias.

Question 4 · choose 1

A publisher generates product images with the Gemini 3 Pro Image model. It wants readers and partners to be able to verify, from each image file itself, that the image is AI-generated and where it came from. Which capability supports this kind of transparency?

  1. AA caption under each image stating that AI made it
  2. BA public AI use policy page on the publisher's website
  3. CModel Armor screening of each image before publishing
  4. DSigned C2PA Content Credentials in each image file
Show the answer and why
  • AA caption under each image stating that AI made it

    Incorrect

    A caption discloses AI use on the page, but it is not part of the file and cannot be verified once the image is shared elsewhere.

  • BA public AI use policy page on the publisher's website

    Incorrect

    A policy page explains the publisher's practices in general; it does not let anyone check where a particular image came from.

  • CModel Armor screening of each image before publishing

    Incorrect

    Model Armor protects against harms and attacks such as prompt injection; it does not add provenance information to the content.

  • DSigned C2PA Content Credentials in each image file

    Correct

    Content Credentials add cryptographically signed C2PA metadata to images generated with Gemini 3 Pro Image, indicating that they are AI-generated and giving a verifiable history of their origin.

Transparency includes being open about AI-generated content, and provenance metadata that travels with the file makes that disclosure verifiable.

Question 5 · choose 1

A company's AI system recommends which suppliers to drop, and staff act on its recommendations. When a mistaken recommendation costs a key partnership, nobody can say who was responsible for reviewing it. Which responsible AI practice was missing?

  1. AFeature attributions that explain each recommendation
  2. BBias testing of recommendations across supplier types
  3. CHuman oversight with clear owners for each decision
  4. DModel Monitoring alerts on the recommendation model
Show the answer and why
  • AFeature attributions that explain each recommendation

    Incorrect

    Attributions show which inputs drove a recommendation, which helps explain it, but they do not make anyone responsible for reviewing it.

  • BBias testing of recommendations across supplier types

    Incorrect

    Bias testing checks whether outcomes are fair across groups; it does not name who reviews and answers for each decision.

  • CHuman oversight with clear owners for each decision

    Correct

    Google's AI Principles call for appropriate human oversight, due diligence and feedback mechanisms; named owners and review steps make someone accountable for each decision.

  • DModel Monitoring alerts on the recommendation model

    Incorrect

    Monitoring alerts on drift in the model's inputs or predictions; it can flag a problem, but it leaves open who acts on each recommendation.

Accountability means people, not models, answer for outcomes. Explanations, fairness checks and monitoring support those people, but reviews and ownership have to be designed into the process.

Question 6 · choose 1

An ethics lead is mapping her company's AI policy to Google's AI Principles, which are organized around three principles, with specific commitments listed under them. Which of these is one of the three principles themselves?

  1. AHuman oversight and due diligence
  2. BCollaborative progress, together
  3. CPrivacy, security and intellectual property
  4. DRigorous design, testing and monitoring
Show the answer and why
  • AHuman oversight and due diligence

    Incorrect

    Appropriate human oversight, due diligence and feedback mechanisms are a commitment listed under responsible development and deployment, not one of the three principles.

  • BCollaborative progress, together

    Correct

    Google's approach to AI rests on three principles: bold innovation; responsible development and deployment; and collaborative progress, together.

  • CPrivacy, security and intellectual property

    Incorrect

    Promoting privacy and security and respecting intellectual property is a commitment under responsible development and deployment, not a principle of its own.

  • DRigorous design, testing and monitoring

    Incorrect

    Rigorous design, testing, monitoring and safeguards are a commitment under responsible development and deployment, not one of the three principles.

Bold innovation, responsible development and deployment, and collaborative progress together frame how Google builds and deploys AI; oversight, testing and privacy are commitments that sit under the second.

Question 7 · choose 1

A tuning dataset for a support model contains customers' full names and phone numbers, which the model does not need to learn the task. What is the responsible step before tuning?

  1. ALimit access to the tuning bucket with IAM roles and tune as is
  2. BAdd a system instruction not to repeat customer details
  3. CEncrypt the bucket with customer-managed keys and tune as is
  4. DDe-identify them first, for example with Sensitive Data Protection
Show the answer and why
  • ALimit access to the tuning bucket with IAM roles and tune as is

    Incorrect

    IAM controls who can read the files, but the model would still learn from the personal data, and generated content can leak training data.

  • BAdd a system instruction not to repeat customer details

    Incorrect

    An instruction at answer time does not remove personal data from the model, and adversarial users may try to get the model to override its instructions.

  • CEncrypt the bucket with customer-managed keys and tune as is

    Incorrect

    Encryption protects data at rest, but the model would still learn from the personal data.

  • DDe-identify them first, for example with Sensitive Data Protection

    Correct

    Personal data the task does not need should not go into tuning; Sensitive Data Protection can find and de-identify it before the data is used.

Privacy by design means removing or de-identifying personal data the use case does not need, before it reaches a model. Access controls, encryption and instructions protect around the data but leave it in the model.

Question 8 · choose 1

A government agency will offer a gen AI assistant to residents who speak many languages and regional dialects, and it must serve all of them equally well. Based on Google's documented model limitations, what should it do before launch?

  1. ARely on the model's published multilingual benchmark scores
  2. BTest thoroughly in English, then launch in every language
  3. CGround answers with Google Search results in each language
  4. DTest answer quality for each language and dialect it will serve
Show the answer and why
  • ARely on the model's published multilingual benchmark scores

    Incorrect

    Google states that most of its benchmarks, including all fairness evaluations, are in English, so they do not show quality for each resident group.

  • BTest thoroughly in English, then launch in every language

    Incorrect

    Quality in English says little about other languages; performance can be worse for non-English languages and less represented varieties.

  • CGround answers with Google Search results in each language

    Incorrect

    Grounding adds current sources to answers, but it does not show whether the model understands and answers well in each dialect.

  • DTest answer quality for each language and dialect it will serve

    Correct

    Google notes that models can give inconsistent quality across users, with weaker performance for some dialects, non-English languages and underrepresented varieties, so each one needs testing.

Fairness includes consistent quality across the people served; measure it per language and dialect rather than assuming it from benchmarks or from English.
