Question 1

You are tasked with implementing GitHub Copilot in your organization for developers to generate code. Your team is concerned about the ethical implications of using AI in code generation, particularly around bias and unintended consequences in the output. What steps should you take to ensure that GitHub Copilot is used responsibly?

Options :

A : Allow Copilot to generate any code automatically, assuming that the AI system has already been trained to be free of bias.

B : Regularly review the AI-generated code for potential biases and ensure that sensitive data (such as gender, race, or age) is not being unnecessarily handled by the AI suggestions.

C : Rely on user feedback alone to correct any issues with the AI suggestions and handle bias as it arises through manual reporting.

D : Ensure that Copilot-s suggestions are accepted without modification, as they have been optimized for efficiency and accuracy.

Answer: B

Question 2

What is zero-shot prompting?

Options :

A : Giving as little context to GitHub Copilot as possible

B : Telling GitHub Copilot it needs to show only the correct answer

C : Only giving GitHub Copilot a question as a prompt and no examples

D : Giving GitHub Copilot examples of the problem you want to solve

E : Giving GitHub Copilot examples of the algorithm and outcome you want to use

Answer: C

Question 3

You are a software developer at a financial institution, and you're using GitHub Copilot to assist in writing a program that handles sensitive user data such as social security numbers (SSNs), bank account information, and transaction histories. Your team is concerned about responsible AI usage and the potential ethical and legal ramifications of relying on AI-generated code. Which of the following actions demonstrates responsible usage of GitHub Copilot in this scenario?

Options :

A : Using Copilot to generate code that handles sensitive data directly, without reviewing it, as Copilot is trained on public code bases and assumed to be reliable.

B : Relying entirely on Copilot for implementing encryption algorithms for sensitive data handling, as Copilot is built on a large code base and can suggest the most optimized algorithms.

C : Allowing Copilot to suggest code for all areas of the project, including sensitive data handling, without consulting your organization-s legal or compliance teams.

D : Using Copilot to generate code, but reviewing all AI-generated code, especially sections dealing with sensitive data handling and encryption, before using it in production.

Answer: D

Question 4

You are using GitHub Copilot to help generate boilerplate code for a web application that interacts with a database to store and retrieve user-submitted information. The code suggested by Copilot works well for basic functionality, but you are concerned about potential security vulnerabilities, particularly regarding SQL injection attacks. What is the most responsible approach to ensure the Copilot-suggested code is secure before implementing it in your production environment?

Options :

A : Review the Copilot-generated code carefully for common security vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection, and test it with both normal and malicious inputs.

B : Assume that Copilot-generated code follows secure coding practices, since it has been trained on a large amount of open-source code.

C : Use the Copilot-suggested code in your production environment as-is, but monitor it closely for any security incidents after deployment.

D : Use Copilot’s code suggestions only for non-critical parts of the application, assuming that security issues are less important for these sections.

Answer: A

Question 5

You are a project manager for a small software development team. Your team uses GitHub for version control, and you’re considering GitHub Copilot to boost productivity and assist with coding. You're reviewing different GitHub Copilot plans to determine which is best for your team. You want to understand what features are available in each plan to make an informed decision. Which of the following statements about GitHub Copilot’s available plans and features is correct?

Options :

A : GitHub Copilot is available for individual developers as well as organizations, with differences in pricing and feature sets.

B : GitHub Copilot does not provide code completion for non-GitHub repositories.

C : GitHub Copilot is only available as a paid product and does not have any free plan or trial option.

D : GitHub Copilot is only available for use in Visual Studio Code, and no other IDEs are supported.

Answer: A
