AIGP Question of the Day — 9 September 2026
A new free AIGP practice question every few days, with a full explanation.
An AI ethics review nearly shipped a hiring tool that legal later found violated local automated-decision rules. Engineers say legal 'was not on the invite'. What is the primary governance failure?
- Insufficient technical documentation of the model's design and test results
- Absence of a cross-functional review gate bringing in legal, privacy and HR
- Lack of a dedicated AI ethicist role with authority over hiring deployments
- Selection of a fairness metric poorly suited to the hiring context
The tool's legal defect was invisible to engineers and is exactly what a structured review gate convening legal, privacy and HR exists to catch before launch (b). Better documentation (a) records design decisions but does not surface a legal prohibition. Hiring an ethicist (c) adds a title without guaranteeing the right functions reach the decision, and a different fairness metric (d) would not have revealed a rule against automated decision-making.
