Amazon Web Services Updated AIF-C01 Exam Questions and Answers by ela

This question maps responsible AI principles to specific AI system practices as defined in AWS Responsible AI Guidelines and Amazon Bedrock Responsible AI documentation.

Scenario 1:

Encrypt the application data, and isolate the application on a private network.

→ Principle: Privacy and Security

From AWS documentation:

"Protecting user data through encryption, secure network isolation, and access control aligns with the Responsible AI principle of privacy and security. AWS recommends securing all data used by AI systems, both in transit and at rest, to maintain trust and regulatory compliance."

Scenario 2:

Evaluate how different population groups will be impacted.

→ Principle: Fairness

From AWS documentation:

"The fairness principle ensures that AI models do not discriminate or generate biased outcomes across population groups. Fairness assessment involves evaluating performance metrics across demographic segments and mitigating any bias detected."

Scenario 3:

Test the application with unexpected data to ensure the application will work in unique situations.

→ Principle: Robustness

From AWS documentation:

"Robustness refers to an AI system’s ability to maintain reliable performance under varied, noisy, or unexpected input conditions. Testing for robustness helps ensure the model generalizes well and behaves safely in edge cases."

The correct answer is C because Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) allows a large language model to provide responses based on up-to-date content from external data sources without the need to fine-tune the model.

According to the AWS Bedrock Developer Guide:

"Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases enables developers to augment foundation models (FMs) with company-specific data that is updated in real time or near real time. By separating retrieval from the model itself, RAG-based approaches avoid the need for frequent retraining or fine-tuning."

This means a company can use a knowledge base with Amazon Bedrock to dynamically fetch the latest company policy information and feed it to the LLM in the prompt. This approach is ideal for use cases where the content (like policies) changes frequently, and latency for updates must be minimal.

Explanation of other options:

A. Fine-tuning an LLM with SageMaker is not optimal for frequently updated data. Fine-tuning involves retraining and redeploying the model, which is time-consuming and not suited for real-time updates. As stated in the SageMaker documentation:

"Fine-tuning is best used for use cases where the data changes infrequently and where highly specific model behavior is required."

B. Selecting a foundation model alone does not fulfill the real-time requirement. The FM's base knowledge is static unless augmented through additional methods like RAG.

D. Amazon Q Business is intended for workplace productivity and enterprise use but is more opinionated in structure and doesn’t provide the same flexibility as a custom RAG workflow for building a tailored chatbot application. While it supports some real-time data sync features, it’s not purpose-built for LLM-based chat systems with dynamic data feeds like Knowledge Bases in Bedrock.

Therefore, the most appropriate and scalable solution aligned with AWS recommendations is C.

Generative AI models (such as large language models) are designed to generate new content, such as text, summaries, images, and more. Summarizing text—like customer complaints—is a classic application of generative AI.

A is correct:

"Text summarization is a core generative AI use case, as it involves generating new, concise content from a larger body of text."

(Reference: AWS Generative AI Use Cases)

B and C are standard ML classification/segmentation tasks.

D is a regression/prediction task, not generative.

The correct answer is C – A CSV file that consists of measurement data, which is a classic example of structured data. According to AWS documentation, structured data is data that is organized in a predefined schema, typically stored in tabular formats with fixed rows, columns, and data types. CSV files, relational databases, and spreadsheets fall into this category because their structure allows deterministic querying and processing. Measurement data contained in a CSV file is easy to analyze with SQL, Amazon Athena, Amazon Redshift, or SageMaker Data Wrangler. In contrast, options A and D (text comments and transcriptions) are examples of unstructured data, requiring NLP techniques. Option B (video files) represents unstructured multimedia data, requiring computer vision. Structured data is essential for supervised ML models, business analytics, and statistical modeling. AWS emphasizes that structured data provides the simplest path to feature engineering and model training due to its consistent format.
