CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003) — Question 406

An analyst uses an AI platform to help correlate events. The AI output contains events that did not happen. This results in inaccurate correlations. Which of the following best describes what has occurred?

Answer options

• A. Hallucinations
• B. Data exposure
• C. Malicious prompts
• D. Model poisoning

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Hallucinations,' which refers to the AI generating false information or events that do not exist. The other options do not accurately describe the issue; 'Data exposure' pertains to unauthorized access to data, 'Malicious prompts' involve intentionally misleading the AI, and 'Model poisoning' refers to compromising the training data to manipulate the model's output.
