An AI audit reveals that a loan approval model has a significantly higher rejection rate for a specific demographic group. What should be management's PRIMARY response?
A significantly higher rejection rate is a clear indicator of potential algorithmic discrimination. Management's PRIMARY response should be to conduct a comprehensive bias analysis (C), including fairness metrics, root-cause analysis, model explainability assessments, and data quality reviews. AAIA prioritizes fairness auditing and bias remediation as central to AI governance.
Option A is unacceptable because fairness issues fall outside most risk tolerances. Option B is a procedural check, not the solution. Option D (synthesizing data) might help but only after the root cause is identified---it is not the primary first step.
