Lesson 117 Quiz: System Instructions and Developer Controls

Question 1

What is the primary purpose of system instructions in an AI application?

To establish high-level guidance for model behavior To replace the applications authentication system To store database passwords for the application To guarantee that every model response is correct

Question 2

Why should developers treat user input as untrusted content?

User input can contain unexpected instructions or manipulation attempts User input is always encrypted by the AI model User input can never affect model behavior User input automatically becomes application policy

Question 3

Which control should enforce whether a user is allowed to access private customer information?

Application authentication and authorization The AI model alone The users prompt alone The response formatting instructions

Question 4

Why should important AI outputs be validated before they affect an external system?

Because AI output can be incorrect or incomplete Because validation guarantees faster model responses Because validation removes the need for authorization Because validated output never requires application rules

Question 5

Which approach provides the strongest control model for an AI application?

System instructions combined with application-level controls System instructions without any application logic User prompts without validation or authorization AI output without business rules or security controls
