Exam AAIA Topic 1 Question 222 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISACA's AAIA exam
Question #: 222
Topic #: 1
An IS auditor is auditing an AI system that predicts inventory needs. The system recently failed to predict a stock outage for a key product. Which of the following audit tests would BEST validate the system's accuracy?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

The best way to validate the accuracy of a predictive AI system is to use historical testing with past sales data (option D). According to the AAIA™ Study Guide, "historical (or back-testing) is essential for evaluating how well a model would have performed using actual data from previous periods, directly reflecting its predictive validity." This method reveals any gaps or biases in the model by comparing predictions to known outcomes.
Unit testing, load testing, and sensitivity analysis are useful for technical verification and robustness but do not provide direct evidence of prediction accuracy in real-world scenarios.
