Practice questions
Q1: A company operates in both India and the EU. Which data protection laws apply to their AI systems?
Show Answer

DPDP Act 2023 (India) and GDPR (EU). If their AI system is high-risk under the EU AI Act, additional requirements apply. If they are a Significant Data Fiduciary under DPDP, they need a DPO, DPIAs, and independent audits.

Q2: How would you map NIST AI RMF functions to ISO 42001 clauses?
Show Answer

GOVERN maps to Clauses 5 (Leadership) and 6 (Planning). MAP maps to Clause 4 (Context) and Clause 8 (Operation — risk assessment). MEASURE maps to Clause 9 (Performance Evaluation). MANAGE maps to Clause 8 (Operation — risk treatment) and Clause 10 (Improvement).

Q3: An AI system used for employee hiring in the EU — what risk tier does it fall under and what's required?
Show Answer

High-risk under Annex III (employment, workers management). Required: risk management system, data governance, technical documentation, record-keeping, transparency to deployers, human oversight, accuracy/robustness/cybersecurity, conformity assessment, CE marking, EU database registration, and post-market monitoring.

Q4: Describe your approach to auditing a multi-jurisdictional AI system.
Show Answer

Five-step approach: (1) Identify and classify the AI system under each applicable framework, (2) Determine all applicable jurisdictions and regulations, (3) Map required controls from each framework into a unified control set, (4) Identify gaps through evidence collection and testing, (5) Recommend specific remediation actions prioritized by severity and regulatory urgency.

Q5: What is the exam time management strategy for the TCAIA exam?
Show Answer

120 minutes for 80 questions = 1.5 min average. Allocate ~1 min for MC questions (50), ~1.5 min for multi-select (15), and ~2-3 min for scenario questions (15). Flag difficult questions and return to them. This leaves ~10-15 minutes for review.

Q6: An Indian NBFC uses a third-party AI model for credit scoring. List all compliance requirements.
Show Answer

DPDP Act: consent for data processing, transparency about AI use, data principal rights. RBI: model governance framework, independent validation, explainability for rejections, data localization for payment data. Third-party management: vendor due diligence, contractual safeguards, the NBFC remains fully responsible for compliance regardless of the vendor relationship.
