Question 8

A transportation app company realizes its ride-fare prediction AI is consistently underestimating fares in specific neighborhoods. Investigation reveals that large numbers of fake, low-fare rides were injected into the training dataset from a particular source. What type of threat does this scenario exemplify?
  • A Natural data drift due to changing city dynamics
  • B Overfitting to rare cases in the data
  • C A data leak exposing fare data to the public
  • D Data poisoning attack, deliberately introducing incorrect data into training
Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Deliberate injection of misleading data for model corruption is the hallmark of a data poisoning attack.

A. Data drift happens naturally, not through deliberate tampering.

B. Overfitting is a modeling issue, not a result of adversarial input.

C. A data leak is accidental, not adversarial data manipulation.

D. This is a classic example of data poisoning, where malicious input manipulates the model's outputs.
