AI and Cybersecurity Quiz

What is "zero trust architecture" in cybersecurity?

• A security model where internal users have unrestricted access

• A system where access is granted only after users prove their identity and intent continuously

• A firewall-based approach to security

• A network security strategy based on physical security checkpoints

Which of the following is a potential risk of AI in policymaking?

• AI models reducing bureaucratic inefficiencies

• AI enforcing unbiased, fair regulations

• AI decision-making reinforcing systemic biases in governance

• AI being unable to process vast amounts of legal data

Which of the following is NOT a limitation of current deep learning models?

• Requirement of large amounts of labeled data

• Inability to generalize across entirely new tasks

• Complete independence from human-designed architectures

• High computational power requirements

What is the primary function of homomorphic encryption?

• Encrypting passwords securely in databases

• Enabling computations on encrypted data without decryption

• Ensuring backward compatibility of cryptographic algorithms

• Enhancing blockchain consensus protocols

In Reinforcement Learning, what is the purpose of a "reward function"?

• To provide real-time feedback to a human operator

• To guide the AI agent’s learning by reinforcing desirable actions

• To punish incorrect predictions in supervised learning

• To generate synthetic training data

What is ransomware?

• A software update that improves security

• A type of virus that slows down computers

• Malware that encrypts user data and demands a ransom for decryption

• A cybersecurity tool used by ethical hackers

What is two-factor authentication (2FA)?

• A system that requires two people to approve a login

• A security process requiring two separate forms of authentication

• A method used to hack into accounts

• A type of firewall that prevents phishing attacks

What ethical concern is associated with AI decision-making?

• AI requires too much energy

• AI can be biased based on training data

• AI takes too long to process data

• AI always produces accurate results

What is a major criticism of AI-based hiring tools in terms of gender equality?

• AI models often overestimate the skills of female candidates

• AI algorithms may reinforce existing hiring biases due to biased training data

• AI hiring tools prioritize gender over skill assessment

• AI recruitment systems operate with complete neutrality and fairness

What does the term "technofeminism" refer to?

• The belief that technology should be limited to feminist groups

• A movement advocating for equal representation of genders in technology

• A cybersecurity policy protecting women from digital threats

• A restriction on male-dominated fields in AI development
