IAPP Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional (AIGP) — Question 115

CASE STUDY -
Please use the following to answer the next question:
A mid-size US healthcare network has decided to develop an AI solution to detect a type of cancer that is most likely to arise in adults. Specifically, the healthcare network intends to create a recognition algorithm that will perform an initial review of all imaging and then route records to a radiologist for secondary review pursuant to agreed-upon criteria (e.g., a confidence score below a threshold).
To date, the healthcare network has:
Defined its AI ethical principles.
Conducted discovery to identify the intended uses and success criteria for the system.
Established an AI risk committee.
Assembled a cross-functional team with clear roles and responsibilities.
Created policies and procedures to document standards, workflows, timelines and risk thresholds during the project.
The healthcare network intends to retain a cloud provider to host the solution. It also intends to retain a large consulting firm to supplement its small data science team and help develop the algorithm using the healthcare network’s existing data and de-identified data that is licensed from a large US clinical research partner.
In the design phase, which of the following steps is most important in gathering the data from the clinical research partner?

Answer options

• A. Combine only anonymized data.
• B. Secure the combined data sets.
• C. Perform a quality assessment.
• D. Review the terms of use.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as conducting a quality assessment is essential to ensure that the data collected is accurate and suitable for the algorithm's development. Options A and B, while important, focus on data handling rather than its quality. Option D is relevant for compliance but does not directly impact the data's suitability for the AI solution.
