Generative AI Leader sample questions
The first 5 questions from the free practice test. Open a question to see the answer and why it is right.
Question 1Business strategies for a successful gen AI solution
Which responsible AI principle is most directly concerned with ensuring model outputs and logs do not expose personal information?
- APrivacy and data protection for personal information
- BInterpretability, so each decision can be explained to a reviewer
- CLatency and throughput of the model endpoint under peak load
- DFairness, so that output quality is consistent across user groups
Show answer and explanationHide answer
Correct answer: APrivacy and data protection cover how personal data is collected, used, logged and exposed. Fairness concerns differential outcomes, interpretability concerns explaining decisions, and latency concerns performance, so none of them addresses personal data exposure directly.
Question 2Fundamentals of gen AI
A model's answer about a company's refund policy is fluent and confident, but the policy it describes does not exist. Which term describes this failure?
- AOverfitting, where the model memorises its training examples
- BHallucination, where fluent output is factually wrong
- CTokenisation drift, where token counts change between model versions
- DLatent bias, where the model favours some topics over others
Show answer and explanationHide answer
Correct answer: BHallucination is the term for fluent output that is presented as fact but is not supported by the data or the world. Overfitting describes a training problem rather than a confident invented answer, and tokenisation drift concerns how text is split, not whether it is true. Latent bias is about systematic skew, which is a different risk.
Question 3Techniques to improve gen AI model output
Which statement about prompt design is most accurate?
- ALonger prompts always improve accuracy, so the prompt length should be maximised
- BPrompts must be written in English for the model to respond correctly at all
- CClear instructions, context and an example often improve output quality
- DPrompts cannot influence the output once a model is deployed to production
Show answer and explanationHide answer
Correct answer: CClear instructions, relevant context and a worked example usually make outputs more accurate and better formatted. Length alone does not help, and many models handle several languages. Prompts remain one of the main levers after deployment.
Question 4Google Cloud's gen AI offerings
Which metric best describes the usage cost of an LLM call on a pay-per-use service?
- AInput and output tokens processed by each request
- BThe total storage size of the model file in the cloud bucket
- CThe number of pages in the source document uploaded to the chat
- DThe number of employees who use the assistant in a given month
Show answer and explanationHide answer
Correct answer: APay-per-use LLM services generally bill for the tokens sent in and generated out by each request, so token volume is the cost driver to track. User counts, page counts and model file size may affect other things but are not what is billed per call.
Question 5Business strategies for a successful gen AI solution
What is the main purpose of a safety filter on a generative AI endpoint?
- ATo shorten responses so they display well on mobile devices
- BTo compress the model weights so that they use less storage
- CTo speed up token generation for high-traffic endpoints
- DTo block or flag harmful or disallowed content
Show answer and explanationHide answer
Correct answer: DSafety filters screen inputs and outputs against policy categories and block or flag content that is harmful or disallowed. Response length, speed and weight compression are performance or formatting concerns and are not what a safety filter is for.
How to prepare for Generative AI Leader
- Read the official Google Cloud outline first (exam page), so you know exactly what is in scope.
- Give the most time to Business strategies for a successful gen AI solution and Fundamentals of gen AI: together they make up 61% of the questions.
- Take the free 30-question practice test and note which topics you miss.
- Go back to the weak topics, then test again. A practice score shows where to study; it does not predict your exam result.
