Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Ethical Impact Assessment (EIA)
A proactive evaluation process specifically designed to identify 'potential negative societal impacts, ethical dilemmas, and risks of discrimination' before deployment is known as an Ethical Impact Assessment (EIA) or AI Impact Assessment.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. A Model Audit typically focuses on the technical aspects of the model's performance, bias, and interpretability, often after or during development, but less on broad societal impacts.
- C. A Performance Benchmark compares the AI model's technical performance against established standards or other models.
- D. A Security Penetration Test focuses on identifying vulnerabilities in the system's security, not its ethical or societal impacts.
Ethical Impact Assessment (EIA)
An Ethical Impact Assessment (EIA) is a systematic process of identifying, analyzing, and evaluating the potential ethical, societal, and human rights impacts of an AI system throughout its lifecycle.
- Proactive risk identification before deployment.
- Considers fairness, privacy, accountability, and safety.
- Involves stakeholders and multidisciplinary expertise.
