ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Implementer

Ten sample exam questions

One per competency domain, exactly as they appear in the simulator.

1. Implementation of an AIMS based on ISO/IEC 42001

   To uphold accountability for the operation and management of its AI systems, an organization defines and allocates roles and responsibilities for AI across the life cycle. Which control does this reflect?

   1. A.2.2 AI policy for the development and use of AI systems
   2. A.2.4 Review of the AI policy at planned intervals
   3. A.2.3 Alignment with other organizational policies
   4. A.3.2 AI roles and responsibilities

2. Fundamental principles and concepts of an AI management syst

   A national public authority plans to deploy a system that ranks citizens with a general-purpose social score used to grant or deny access to services. How should this be classified under the EU AI Act?

   1. Unacceptable risk, and therefore prohibited
   2. Minimal risk, given its widespread deployment
   3. Low risk, subject only to specific transparency requirements
   4. High risk, permitted subject to an ex-ante conformity assessment

3. Planning of an AIMS implementation based on ISO/IEC 42001

   What is the main effect of top management support on an AIMS implementation?

   1. It directly influences the financial and human resources allocated to the implementation
   2. It guarantees that no external laws or regulations will apply to the organization
   3. It has no bearing on the resources available, which are decided solely by the finance function
   4. It removes the need to carry out any risk assessment during the project

4. Monitoring and measurement of an AIMS based on ISO/IEC 42001

   Which management model should an internal audit program follow according to ISO 19011:2018?

   1. The first, second, and third party sequence
   2. The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) model
   3. The monitor, measure, analyze, and evaluate chain
   4. The suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness triad

5. Continual improvement and preparation for an AIMS certificat

   Which of the following is a characteristic of an effective action plan?

   1. It is approved solely by the audit team that raised the finding
   2. It requires frequent revisions and constant updates in order to stay valid
   3. It includes an implementation time frame and allows verifiable results
   4. It groups every identified nonconformity into one general plan

6. Artificial intelligence management system

   Which statement best describes an AI management system (AIMS)?

   1. A software platform that automatically monitors and retrains deployed machine learning models once they are in production
   2. A register listing each AI threat identified across the organization's systems and the residual risk score for every one
   3. A catalogue of AI-specific controls that every organization is obliged to implement in full with no permitted exclusions
   4. A set of interrelated elements used to set policies, objectives, and processes for the responsible use of AI systems

7. Implementation of an AIMS based on ISO/IEC 42001

   Analyzing the AI landscape, which guides the selection and design of appropriate controls, is built from three activities. Which set correctly lists them?

   1. Understanding AI applications, assessing data usage and flow, and evaluating AI integration
   2. Drafting the AI policy, training staff, and auditing the organization's suppliers
   3. Understanding AI applications, writing the Statement of Applicability, and certifying the AIMS
   4. Assessing data usage and flow, purchasing tooling, and appointing a data controller

8. Fundamental principles and concepts of an AI management syst

   Which statement about the AI system life cycle in ISO/IEC 22989 is correct?

   1. It mandates a single fixed sequence of stages that every AI system must follow
   2. It applies only during the deployment stage of an AI system
   3. It gives an example model and highlights AI-specific processes rather than prescribing one mandatory model
   4. It removes the need for risk management across the life cycle

9. Planning of an AIMS implementation based on ISO/IEC 42001

   Using the Power/Interest matrix to prioritize interested parties, how should a party with high power but low interest be handled?

   1. Simply monitor it periodically
   2. Keep it informed of progress
   3. Keep it satisfied
   4. Manage it closely at all times

10. Monitoring and measurement of an AIMS based on ISO/IEC 42001

    As used in the monitoring and measurement of an AIMS, analysis is best described as the process of:

    1. assessing the overall effectiveness of a system, process, or product against its targets.
    2. determining the value and traits of a system, process, or product.
    3. observing a system, process, or product to determine performance levels.
    4. examining a system, process, or product in order to understand it better.

About the official exam: its format, duration and number of questions are set by the certification body and may change, so confirm them in its documentation before you sit it. This material trains the standard, not one body's exam, so it is just as useful if you certify elsewhere.
