AI Transparency & Explainability: Manager’s Guide | QuizBy Eyal Doron / December 6, 2025 / 1 minute of reading AI Transparency & Explainability: Manager’s Guide | Quiz 1 / 7 1. Why is attention visualization for LLMs considered limited as an explanation technique? 1. Attention visualization only works for small language models 2. Attention mechanisms are not present in modern transformer models 3. Attention patterns cannot be visualized in real-time 4. Attention shows correlation not causation – high attention does not mean that input caused the output Correct! WHY: Attention patterns show correlation not causation – high attention on an input does not necessarily mean that input caused the output. CONTEXT: This limitation means attention visualization should be used carefully not as definitive proof of model reasoning. REMEMBER: Attention shows what the model looked at not why it made a decision. 2 / 7 2. What is the Two-Model Approach to balancing accuracy and explainability? 1. Use a high-performance model for predictions and a simpler model to generate explanations 2. Train two identical models and compare their outputs for consistency 3. Use one model during development and another during production 4. Deploy two models in different regions to meet local regulations Correct! WHY: The Two-Model Approach uses a high-performance model for predictions and a simpler interpretable model to generate explanations. CONTEXT: This provides both accuracy and transparency without sacrificing either. REMEMBER: Two-Model Approach equals one model for accuracy plus one model for explanations. 3 / 7 3. According to the EU AI Act what level of transparency is required for high-risk AI systems? 1. Full source code publication 2. No transparency requirements for AI systems 3. Extensive documentation and explanation capability 4. Basic disclosure of the model type only Correct! WHY: The EU AI Act requires extensive documentation and explanation capability for high-risk AI systems. CONTEXT: Requirements scale with risk level and providers must ensure systems can be understood by operators. REMEMBER: EU AI Act equals risk-scaled transparency – higher risk equals more documentation and explanation capability. 4 / 7 4. A healthcare organization wants to deploy AI for patient triage. Which audience needs the simplest and most actionable explanations? 1. Developers who need to debug the model 2. Regulators who need to audit the system 3. End users who need to understand and act on decisions 4. Executives who need to approve the budget Correct! WHY: End users need simple actionable explanations focusing on key factors in plain language. CONTEXT: Different audiences need different explanation depths – users need simplicity while regulators need documentation and developers need technical details. REMEMBER: Match explanation complexity to your audience – simple for users technical for developers. 5 / 7 5. What is a counterfactual explanation? 1. An explanation that compares the current model to a previous version 2. An explanation that shows all factors that did not influence the decision 3. An explanation that shows what would need to change for a different outcome 4. An explanation that predicts what the model would have decided in the past Correct! WHY: Counterfactual explanations answer what would need to change for a different outcome making them actionable for users. CONTEXT: Users often find counterfactuals more useful than feature importance because they know what to do differently. REMEMBER: Counterfactuals explain by showing what you could change to get a different result. 6 / 7 6. What does SHAP use to determine feature importance in AI predictions? 1. Neural network attention patterns 2. Game theory concepts specifically Shapley values 3. Random sampling of input features 4. Decision tree node splits Correct! WHY: SHAP uses game theory concepts specifically Shapley values to assign importance to each feature for a prediction. CONTEXT: SHAP provides theoretically grounded and consistent feature importance making it a popular choice for explaining black box models. REMEMBER: SHAP equals Shapley values equals game theory for feature importance. 7 / 7 7. Which regulation grants individuals the right to meaningful information about the logic involved in automated decisions? 1. SOC 2 Type II 2. EU AI Act Article 1 3. NYC Local Law 144 4. GDPR Article 22 Correct! WHY: GDPR Article 22 specifically addresses automated decision-making and requires organizations to provide meaningful information about the logic involved. CONTEXT: This right applies when AI makes decisions about credit employment insurance or similar consequential outcomes. REMEMBER: GDPR Article 22 is your right to explanation for automated decisions.
