What is the main danger of releasing an AI system without a Responsible AI governance process?
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B
Governance supplies the review, documentation and ownership that keep an AI system within acceptable bounds. Without it, teams can ship models trained on unrepresentative data, expose personal information, or leave nobody clearly answerable when a decision is challenged. The consequences are harm to individuals, reputational and legal exposure, and loss of trust that is difficult to rebuild. Performance and cost issues are real engineering concerns but they are not the primary risk governance addresses.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Competitive speed is a performance consideration, unrelated to the ethical and legal exposure that governance manages.
- C. Storage consumption is an operational cost and does not capture the harm from unmanaged AI behaviour.
- D. API latency is a technical performance metric, not a governance risk.
Exam tip. No governance means bias, privacy and accountability risk.
