IAPP Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional (AIGP) — Question 14

During the development of semi-autonomous vehicles, various failures occurred as a result of the sensors misinterpreting environmental surroundings, such as sunlight.
These failures are an example of:

Answer options

• A. Hallucination.
• B. Brittleness.
• C. Forgetting.
• D. Uncertainty.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, brittleness, which refers to a system's vulnerability to failure when faced with unexpected situations or inputs. The sensors' inability to accurately process environmental factors indicates brittleness. The other options, such as hallucination and uncertainty, do not specifically capture the nature of the failures resulting from sensor misinterpretations.
