CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 371

A government organization is developing an advanced Al defense system. Developers are using information collected from third-party providers. Analysts are noticing inconsistencies in the expected progress of the Al learning and attribute the outcome to a recent attack on one of the suppliers. Which of the following is the most likely reason for the inaccuracy of the system?

Answer options

• A. Improper algorithms security
• B. Tainted training data
• C. Fileless virus
• D. Cryptomalware

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as tainted training data can significantly hinder the performance of AI systems by introducing biases or errors. While improper algorithms security (A) could lead to vulnerabilities, it does not directly explain inaccuracies in the learning process. Fileless virus (C) and Cryptomalware (D) are not relevant in this context as they pertain to malware rather than data integrity issues.
