1A business leader wants to understand what fundamentally distinguishes generative AI from earlier forms of AI. Which statement most accurately captures the difference?
A.Generative AI creates new original content such as text, images, or code, whereas traditional AI mainly classifies, predicts, or detects patterns in existing data
B.Generative AI runs entirely on local devices, whereas traditional AI requires cloud computing
C.Generative AI never makes mistakes, whereas traditional AI frequently produces errors
D.Generative AI only works with numerical data, whereas traditional AI works with text and images
Explanation: Generative AI uses large language and multimodal models to produce new content (text, code, images, audio) in response to prompts. Traditional or discriminative AI focuses on tasks like classification, regression, clustering, and anomaly detection over existing data. Understanding this distinction helps leaders pick the right tool for a business need.
2In generative AI, what is a token, and why does it matter for cost planning?
A.A token is the security credential used to authenticate to the model API
B.A token is a chunk of text (often a word or part of a word) that models process, and billing is typically based on input and output tokens consumed
C.A token is a single completed conversation, and providers charge a flat fee per conversation
D.A token is the GPU instance reserved for a model, billed per hour regardless of usage
Explanation: Models break text into tokens, where roughly one token equals about four characters or three-quarters of a word in English. Generative AI services usually meter and bill based on the number of input (prompt) and output (completion) tokens, so longer prompts and responses cost more. Leaders use token estimates to forecast and control consumption costs.
3A CFO asks how to evaluate the return on investment (ROI) of a proposed generative AI project. Which approach best reflects sound business-value analysis?
A.Approve any AI project because AI always pays for itself within a month
B.Measure only the license cost and ignore productivity outcomes
C.Compare quantifiable benefits such as time saved, error reduction, and revenue impact against total costs including licenses, tokens, change management, and governance
D.Base the decision entirely on how many employees say they like the tool
Explanation: A defensible ROI case weighs measurable benefits, such as hours saved per task, faster turnaround, fewer errors, and incremental revenue, against the full cost of ownership, including licenses, token consumption, training, and governance. Soft signals like enthusiasm matter for adoption but are not sufficient for an ROI calculation. This balanced view is central to identifying genuine business value.
4What is a 'fabrication' (sometimes called a hallucination) in the context of generative AI, and what business risk does it create?
A.A slowdown in the model's response time under heavy load
B.A licensing violation caused by using the model without permission
C.A deliberate security attack where a model is tricked into leaking data
D.A confident but factually incorrect or invented output, which can mislead decisions if not reviewed
Explanation: Fabrications occur when a generative model produces plausible-sounding content that is not grounded in fact. Because the output looks authoritative, it can drive poor decisions or spread misinformation if humans do not verify it. Leaders mitigate this with grounding (RAG), human review, and clear usage policies.
5A leadership team is concerned that an AI hiring screening tool may systematically disadvantage certain groups. What is this risk called, and what is a key cause?
A.Bias, often caused by unrepresentative or skewed training data that reflects historical inequities
B.Overfitting, caused by training the model for too few epochs
C.Tokenization error, caused by using the wrong language model
D.Latency, caused by insufficient compute capacity
Explanation: Bias in AI arises when models learn patterns from data that underrepresents or unfairly represents certain groups, producing systematically unfair outcomes. In hiring, this can lead to discriminatory screening. Addressing bias requires representative datasets, fairness testing, and human oversight, all part of responsible AI.
6A retail company processes millions of customer service emails daily and wants AI to draft consistent first-response replies around the clock. Which generative AI value driver does this scenario most directly illustrate?
A.Guaranteed elimination of every customer complaint
B.Scalability and automation of high-volume, repetitive tasks
C.Reduction in cloud storage costs
D.Elimination of all human staff from the support function
Explanation: Generative AI provides clear value where tasks are high-volume, repetitive, and time-sensitive, because it can scale to large workloads and automate drafting consistently at any hour. This frees human agents to handle complex or sensitive cases. The scenario is a classic scalability-and-automation use case.
7What is the primary difference between a pretrained model and a fine-tuned model?
A.A fine-tuned model is always smaller and cheaper to run than any pretrained model
B.A pretrained model is open source while a fine-tuned model is always proprietary
C.A pretrained model is trained on broad, general data, while a fine-tuned model takes a pretrained model and further trains it on domain- or task-specific data
D.A pretrained model cannot generate text, while a fine-tuned model can
Explanation: Pretrained models learn general language and reasoning patterns from large, broad datasets. Fine-tuning takes such a model and continues training it on a narrower, organization-specific dataset to specialize its behavior for a particular task or tone. Leaders weigh fine-tuning against simpler options like prompt engineering and RAG based on cost and need.
8A marketing manager finds that vague prompts produce off-target content, while detailed prompts with context and examples produce useful drafts. Which practice does this demonstrate?
A.Model quantization
B.Data labeling
C.Fine-tuning
D.Prompt engineering
Explanation: Prompt engineering is the practice of crafting clear, context-rich instructions, often including role, goal, constraints, and examples, to steer a generative model toward higher-quality, on-target output. It is the fastest, lowest-cost lever for improving results without changing the model. Better prompts directly improve the business value users get from Copilot.
9Which prompt-engineering technique involves giving the model a few worked examples of the desired input-output format before asking it to perform the task?
A.Few-shot prompting
B.Negative prompting
C.Streaming
D.Zero-shot prompting
Explanation: Few-shot prompting supplies a small number of example pairs that demonstrate the expected format and style, helping the model generalize the pattern to the new request. Zero-shot prompting gives no examples and relies solely on the instruction. Choosing the right technique improves output quality and consistency.
10An organization wants its AI assistant to answer questions using the company's own internal policy documents rather than only the model's general training data. Which approach addresses this need?
A.Reducing the number of tokens in every prompt
B.Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), which retrieves relevant company documents and supplies them to the model as grounding context
C.Increasing the model's temperature setting
D.Switching from a chat model to an image model
Explanation: Retrieval-augmented generation grounds the model by first retrieving relevant passages from a trusted knowledge source (such as internal documents) and including them in the prompt so the answer is based on that content. This improves accuracy and reduces fabrications without retraining the model. It is a core pattern for enterprise AI solutions.
