Question 2

Topic: AI Builder

A maker needs to classify incoming feedback into categories without custom ML development. What could help?

• A. A DNS private zone.
• B. AI Builder or Power Platform AI capability that fits classification requirements.
• C. A VM scale set only.
• D. A Teams ringtone policy.

Best answer: B

Explanation: Power Platform can add AI capabilities such as prediction, classification, and document processing when appropriate.

Question 3

Topic: grounding

An agent should answer only from approved policy documents. What is most important?

• A. General web answers only.
• B. Anonymous access to all documents.
• C. Grounding the agent in approved sources with permission-aware access and testing.
• D. No source review.

Best answer: C

Explanation: Grounding and permissions reduce unsupported or unauthorized answers.

What this tests: Designing grounded AI experiences.

Question 4

Topic: human review

An AI step extracts invoice fields but confidence is low for some values. What should the process include?

• A. Automatic posting of every uncertain value.
• B. No audit trail.
• C. Deleting failed invoices.
• D. A human review or exception path for low-confidence outputs.

Best answer: D

Explanation: AI outputs should be validated when uncertainty or business risk is high.

What this tests: Adding human-in-the-loop controls.

Question 5

Topic: data governance

An intelligent app uses customer records from Dataverse. What must be respected?

• A. Dataverse security roles, data policies, consent, and retention requirements.
• B. Bypass all Dataverse permissions.
• C. Export all records publicly.
• D. Ignore audit needs.

Best answer: A

Explanation: AI-enabled apps do not remove platform security and governance obligations.

What this tests: Applying data governance to AI apps.

Question 6

Topic: prompt quality

A prompt produces inconsistent case summaries. What should be improved?

• A. Use a vaguer prompt.
• B. Prompt instructions, input structure, examples, evaluation criteria, and test set coverage.
• C. Never test outputs.
• D. Disable user feedback.

Best answer: B
