AI-900 Sample Questions

  1. Question 1

    A financial services firm is developing a generative AI application using Azure OpenAI Service to summarize lengthy financial reports. To ensure the summaries are grounded in the provided document and avoid fabricating information, the development team implements a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pattern. Which component of the RAG pattern is responsible for finding the most relevant sections of the source document to guide the language model?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    In a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pattern, the indexing and retrieval system (often a vector database like Azure AI Search) is responsible for searching the source data to find the most relevant information based on the user's query. This retrieved context is then passed to the LLM to generate a grounded response.

  2. Question 2

    Multiple answers

    An AI development team is using Azure AI Content Safety to moderate user-generated content for a new social media application. They need to configure the service to detect and filter content related to self-harm and violence with the highest sensitivity. Which two configuration settings are most critical for achieving this requirement? (Select TWO)

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answers: A, C

    Severity levels (e.g., 0-7) allow for fine-grained control over how sensitive the detection is for each category. Setting a low threshold for the 'self-harm' and 'violence' categories makes the filtering more aggressive.

    Custom blocklists allow the team to add specific terms, phrases, or patterns that are highly indicative of the content they wish to filter, providing an extra layer of targeted moderation.

  3. Question 3

    True or False: The Azure AI Foundry model catalog exclusively contains proprietary models developed by Microsoft.

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    The Azure AI Foundry model catalog is designed to be comprehensive and includes a wide variety of models, including state-of-the-art open-source models (like those from Hugging Face and Meta), models from Microsoft, and models from OpenAI.

  4. Question 4

    A hospital is implementing an AI system to analyze medical text from patient records. The system needs to identify mentions of specific medical conditions, medications, and dosages. This information will be used to populate a structured database for clinical research. Which feature of the Azure AI Language service is specifically designed for this task?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    Custom Named Entity Recognition (NER) is the ideal feature for this scenario. While standard NER can find general entities like people and places, Custom NER allows the hospital to train a model to recognize specific, domain-relevant entities such as 'medical conditions', 'medications', and 'dosages'.

  5. Question 5

    A global news organization wants to create a service that provides near real-time translation of breaking news articles into multiple languages for its international audience. The solution must preserve the original document's formatting and structure. Which Azure AI service is the most appropriate choice for this requirement?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: D

    Azure AI Translator, specifically its Document Translation feature, is designed for this exact purpose. It can translate entire documents or batches of documents in various file formats while preserving the original structure and formatting, which is a key requirement for the news organization.

  6. Question 6

    An e-commerce company is building a chatbot using the Azure Bot Service and Azure AI Language's conversational language understanding (CLU) feature. The goal is to handle customer inquiries about order status. A user might ask, "Where is my shipment with ID 789123?". In this context, what is the 'intent'?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    In conversational AI, the 'intent' represents the user's underlying goal or intention. In this case, the user's goal is to find out the status of their order. The specific question is the 'utterance', and '789123' is an 'entity'.

  7. Question 7

    A city's public transportation authority is developing an AI model to predict bus arrival times. The model is trained on historical data but shows significant bias, consistently underestimating travel times for routes in low-income neighborhoods. This issue violates which principle of Microsoft's Responsible AI?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    The principle of Fairness is violated. This principle dictates that AI systems should treat all people fairly and avoid affecting similarly situated groups of people in different ways. The model's systemic underperformance for a specific demographic (people in low-income neighborhoods) is a clear example of algorithmic bias and unfairness.

  8. Question 8

    To help developers understand why an automated machine learning (AutoML) model in Azure Machine Learning makes certain predictions, the platform provides model explanations. This capability directly supports which Microsoft Responsible AI principle?

    mindmap root((Responsible AI)) Fairness Reliability & Safety Privacy & Security Inclusiveness Accountability (Transparency) Explainability Interpretability

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: D

    Model explanations, which help humans understand the reasoning behind an AI's decisions, are a core component of the Transparency principle. Transparency is about ensuring that AI systems are understandable, and providing tools for interpretability and explainability is key to achieving this.

  9. Question 9

    Which type of AI workload is primarily concerned with identifying data points, events, or observations that deviate from a system's normal behavior?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    Anomaly detection is the AI workload focused on identifying rare items, events, or observations which raise suspicions by differing significantly from the majority of the data. Examples include fraud detection in credit card transactions or identifying a faulty sensor in an IoT network.

  10. Question 10

    A data scientist is training a classification model to predict customer churn. After training, they evaluate the model on the test dataset and notice that it performs exceptionally well on the data it was trained on, but its accuracy is very poor on the unseen test data. What is the most likely term for this phenomenon?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    Overfitting occurs when a machine learning model learns the training data too well, including its noise and random fluctuations. This results in a model that performs very well on the training data but fails to generalize to new, unseen data, leading to poor performance on the test set.
