CASE STUDY
A premier payroll services company that employs thousands of people globally, is embarking on a new hiring campaign and wants to implement policies and procedures to identify and retain the best talent. The new talent will help the company's product team expand its payroll offerings to companies in the healthcare and transportation sectors, including in Asia.
It has become time consuming and expensive for HR to review all resumes, and they are concerned that human reviewers might be susceptible to bias.
To address these concerns, the company is considering using a third-party Al tool to screen resumes and assist with hiring. They have been talking to several vendors about possibly obtaining a third-party Al-enabled hiring solution, as long as it would achieve its goals and comply with all applicable laws.
The organization has a large procurement team that is responsible for the contracting of technology solutions. One of the procurement team's goals is to reduce costs, and it often prefers lower-cost solutions. Others within the company deploy technology solutions into the organization's operations in a responsible, cost-effective manner.
The organization is aware of the risks presented by Al hiring tools and wants to mitigate them. It also questions how best to organize and train its existing personnel to use the Al hiring tool responsibly. Their concerns are heightened by the fact that relevant laws vary across jurisdictions and continue to change.
All of the following are potential negative consequences created by using the AI tool to help make hiring decisions EXCEPT?
A company that deploys AI but is not currently a provider or developer intends to develop and market its own AI system.
Which obligation would then be likely to apply?

Please use the following answer the next question:
A local police department in the United States procured an Al system to monitor and analyze social media feeds, online marketplaces and other sources of public information to detect evidence of illegal activities (e.g., sale of drugs or stolen goods). The Al system works by surveilling the publicsites in order to identify individuals that are likely to have committed a crime. It cross-references the individuals against data maintained by law enforcement and then assigns a percentage score of the likelihood of criminal activity based on certain factors like previous criminal history, location, time, race and gender.
The police department retained a third-party consultant assist in the procurement process, specifically to evaluate two finalists. Each of the vendors provided information about their system's accuracy rates, the diversity of their training data and how their system works. The consultant determined that the first vendor's system has a higher accuracy rate and based on this information, recommended this vendor to the police department.
The police department chose the first vendor and implemented its Al system. As part of the implementation, the department and consultant created a usage policy for the system, which includes training police officers on how the system works and how to incorporate it into their investigation process.
The police department has now been using the Al system for a year. An internal review has found that every time the system scored a likelihood of criminal activity at or above 90%, the police investigation subsequently confirmed that the individual had, in fact, committed a crime. Based on these results, the police department wants to forego investigations for cases where the Al system gives a score of at least 90% and proceed directly with an arrest.
When notifying an accused perpetrator, what additional information should a police officer provide about the use of the Al system?

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.
Which of the following steps can best mitigate the possibility of discrimination prior to training and testing the AI solution?
