Question 1

A user enters a prompt asking an AI system to draft a professional email summarizing a meeting.

Which type of AI workload is this?

A. Natural language processing (analysis)
B. Document processing
C. Generative AI
D. Computer vision

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: The system is creating new text content based on a prompt, which is the defining feature of generative AI.

---

Question 2

An AI solution produces original images based on text descriptions such as “a beach at sunset in a watercolor style.”

Which AI workload does this represent?

A. Image classification
B. Object detection
C. Generative AI
D. Computer vision only

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: Image generation creates entirely new images from text prompts, which is a core generative AI capability.

Question 3

Which characteristic most clearly distinguishes generative AI from traditional AI workloads?

A. Uses labeled training data
B. Classifies existing data
C. Generates new content
D. Requires structured input

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: Generative AI creates new outputs (text, images, code), rather than only analyzing or classifying existing data.

---

Question 4

A chatbot generates unique responses to user questions instead of selecting predefined answers.

Which workload is being used?

A. Rule-based automation
B. Natural language processing only
C. Generative AI
D. Speech recognition

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: Dynamic, context-aware responses that are newly generated indicate a generative AI workload.

---

Question 5

A company uses an AI system to summarize long reports into short executive summaries.

Why is this considered a generative AI workload?

A. It detects sentiment in the text
B. It extracts key phrases only
C. It generates new summarized text
D. It translates text between languages

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: Summarization involves generating new text that captures the meaning of the original content.

Question 6

Which Azure service is most commonly associated with generative AI workloads on the AI-900 exam?

A. Azure AI Vision
B. Azure AI Language
C. Azure AI Document Intelligence
D. Azure OpenAI Service

Correct Answer: D

Explanation: Azure OpenAI Service provides models for text, image, and code generation and is the primary generative AI service tested in AI-900.

---

Question 7

A developer writes prompts that specify tone, format, and examples to guide an AI model’s output.

What is this practice called?

A. Model training
B. Prompt engineering
C. Data labeling
D. Hyperparameter tuning

Correct Answer: B

Explanation: Prompt engineering is the practice of crafting prompts to influence the quality and style of generative AI outputs.

---

Question 8

Which scenario is least likely to use a generative AI workload?

A. Writing marketing copy
B. Generating code examples
C. Classifying customer reviews by topic
D. Creating chatbot responses

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: Classifying text by topic is a traditional NLP analysis task, not a generative AI workload.

---

Question 9

Which risk is especially associated with generative AI workloads?

A. Image resolution issues
B. Hallucinated or incorrect outputs
C. Poor audio quality
D. Inaccurate bounding boxes

Correct Answer: B

Explanation: Generative AI models can produce outputs that sound plausible but are incorrect, known as hallucinations.

---

Question 10

Which clue in a scenario most strongly indicates a generative AI workload?

A. The system analyzes scanned documents
B. The system extracts key-value pairs
C. The system generates original text or images
D. The system detects objects in images

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: The creation of new content is the clearest indicator of a generative AI workload.

---

Final Exam Tip

If a scenario involves creating, drafting, generating, or summarizing content, and the output is new, the correct answer is almost always generative AI, commonly associated with Azure OpenAI Service.
