Privacy and security
This is correct. Privacy and security is the responsible AI characteristic that protects personal data handled by AI and prevents unauthorized access and data breaches.
A healthcare company is formulating an AI system adoption policy. The company places a high priority on protecting the personal data of patients handled by AI and preventing unauthorized access and data breaches. Which characteristic of responsible AI BEST describes this consideration?
Identify the responsible AI characteristic that protects personal data.
Privacy and security
This is correct. Privacy and security is the responsible AI characteristic that protects personal data handled by AI and prevents unauthorized access and data breaches.
Explainability
This is incorrect. Explainability is the characteristic that allows users to understand why a model reached a specific prediction. The concern in this question is personal data protection, not the rationale behind decisions.
Robustness
This is incorrect. Robustness is the characteristic that ensures stable performance in the face of input variation or adversarial attacks. The concern in this question is personal data protection, not resilience to input variation.
Accountability
This is incorrect. Accountability is the characteristic of establishing structures that define who is responsible for AI decisions and can explain them. It focuses on organizational governance, which is distinct from the personal data protection and breach prevention focus of this question.
When the topic is personal data protection and preventing unauthorized access or breaches, the answer is privacy and security. This is distinct from explainability (decision rationale), robustness (resilience to input variation), and accountability (organizational governance). Technical measures such as encryption, access control, and anonymization are associated with this dimension.
