IAPP Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional (AIGP) — Question 112

An autonomous vehicle maker deploys an AI system whereby the car is equipped with AI that makes decisions locally, without calling in to the AI’s central server.
The AI is capable of making decisions without waiting for a response from a remote system.
The AI can continue to function if it temporarily loses its connection to the central server, such as driving through tunnels or areas where its signal is lost.
The AI can periodically receive updates to its model from its central server.
A subset of anonymized data can be used to train the manufacturer’s AI model, depending on user privacy settings.
The manufacturer has deployed the AI using:

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, an edge model, because it allows the AI to make decisions locally and continue functioning without a constant connection to a central server. Option A, a cloud model, relies on central processing and would not operate effectively in areas with no signal. Option C, a federated model, involves collaborative learning across multiple devices but does not fit the scenario of local decision-making. Option D, a multimodal model, pertains to the integration of multiple types of data inputs and does not specifically address the operational independence described.
