Question 42

A wildlife conservation team uses drone images and an AI model to count endangered animals in a reserve. To measure the model's accuracy, they compare its predictions with actual counts performed by experts on the ground. What role does the expert-verified count play in this evaluation process?
  • A It serves as the ground truth, providing the objective reference for validating and calibrating the AI model's predictions
  • B It is unrelated and not used in performance measurement
  • C It is an estimate generated by another AI model
  • D It acts as the predicted output, which the AI is trying to match
Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Ground truth is the benchmark that anchors model evaluation in observable reality, ensuring that AI predictions can be trusted and validated.

A. Ground truth is the standard by which AI outputs are measured to determine their accuracy and reliability.

B. Without ground truth, it is impossible to objectively assess model accuracy.

C. Ground truth is real-world data, not another model's estimate.

D. Predicted output comes from the AI, not from expert verification.
