Consider this scenario: An AI system monitors network traffic and flags 95% of real attacks but also wrongly flags 10% of normal traffic as attacks. What is a likely outcome?
AThe system alerts on many real attacks but also causes false alarms
BThe system never makes mistakes and blocks all traffic
CThe system misses most attacks and lets threats through
DThe system only flags normal traffic and ignores attacks
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Analyze detection rates

    95% detection means most attacks are caught; 10% false alarms means some normal traffic is wrongly flagged.
  2. Step 2: Interpret outcomes

    The system works well but causes some false alerts, which is common in AI detection.
  3. Final Answer:

    The system alerts on many real attacks but also causes false alarms -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    High detection + some false alarms = C [OK]
Quick Trick: High detection with some false alarms means alerts plus mistakes [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Assuming no false alarms happen
  • Thinking 95% detection means perfect security
  • Confusing false alarms with missed attacks
