4.3. Reflection Checkpoint

Key Takeaways

Before proceeding, ensure you can:

  • Name and apply Microsoft's six responsible AI principles
  • Explain the purpose and composition of an AI council
  • Diagnose adoption barriers (capability, motivation, opportunity) and recommend appropriate interventions
  • Describe the value of AI champions programs
  • Compare licensing models for different Microsoft AI solutions

Connecting Forward

In Phase 5, you'll apply everything you've learned to exam preparation—reviewing decision frameworks, practicing with sample questions, and developing strategies for exam success.

Self-Check Questions

  1. An AI system for employee performance reviews shows that managers who use the AI give consistently higher ratings to employees who share their demographic background. Which responsible AI principle does this violate, and what should be done?

  2. A company launches an AI champions program but sees little improvement in adoption. Champions report that their colleagues say they "don't have time" to learn new tools. What type of barrier is this, and what intervention is needed?

  3. A startup wants to build a custom AI product but has limited budget and wants predictable monthly costs. How would you advise them on choosing between Azure AI Services (pay-per-use) and a different approach?
