Technology – Medium Level – GK Questions

Q: The DPDP Act 2023 requires automated decision-making systems to provide explanations for significant decisions affecting individuals.

True – DPDP Act mandates transparency in automated decisions: individuals have right to explanation for decisions affecting rights, benefits, or obligations. Aligns with global standards like GDPR Article 22.

Q: The AI approach that ensures humans can monitor and override automated decisions is called human ________.

in-the-loop – Human-in-the-loop (HITL) ensures human oversight of AI decisions, especially in high-stakes domains. Critical for accountability, error correction, and ethical compliance. Complements human-on-the-loop supervision.

Q: Algorithmic accountability requires organizations to document and justify AI decision-making processes.

True – Algorithmic accountability mandates transparency in AI: documenting data sources, model design, testing, and decision logic. Enables auditing, bias detection, and redressal. Supported by DPDP Act and sectoral guidelines.

Q: Which principle of Responsible AI ensures that AI systems do not discriminate against protected groups?

Fairness – Fairness in AI requires systems to avoid bias based on race, gender, caste, religion, etc. Techniques include bias detection metrics, diverse training data, and fairness-aware algorithms. Critical for ethical AI deployment in hiring, lending, and public services.

Q: Which technique enables data subjects to request deletion of their personal data?

Right to Erasure – Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten) allows individuals to request deletion of personal data when no longer necessary or consent withdrawn. Critical for DPDP/GDPR compliance questions.

Q: Cloud security posture management (CSPM) tools continuously monitor for misconfigurations and compliance violations.

True – CSPM automates detection/remediation of cloud misconfigurations: public storage, weak IAM, unencrypted data. Critical for preventing cloud breaches.

Q: Which framework provides guidelines for securing Internet of Things (IoT) deployments?

Both A and B – NIST IR 8259 and ETSI EN 303 645 provide IoT security baselines: secure boot, updates, data protection. Critical for IoT security architecture questions.

Q: The initiative for global cooperation on cybersecurity capacity building is called Global Cybersecurity ________.

Forum / Index – ITU Global Cybersecurity Index assesses national cybersecurity commitment; forums facilitate knowledge sharing. India ranks high in GCI. Critical for international cybersecurity questions.

Q: Which certification validates expertise in artificial intelligence and machine learning engineering?

All of these – Cloud AI certifications validate skills in model development, deployment, MLOps. Critical for AI/ML roles in growing Indian tech sector.

Q: Strangler Fig pattern enables gradual migration from monolithic to microservices architecture.

True – Strangler Fig incrementally replaces monolith features with microservices behind API gateway. Reduces risk vs big-bang rewrite. Critical for legacy modernization questions.
