Objective 6.1
PMLEIdentifying risks to AI solutions
Objective 6.1 sits in Monitoring AI solutions, which carries 13% of the ML Engineer exam. The questions below are original, written from the official objective title above, and each explanation cites the Google Cloud page it rests on.

A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
A team sees a response scoring low on the likelihood of a harm and high on how damaging it would be. What do those two scores mean?
Correct.
Concept
How likely something is and how much it would matter are independent questions. Collapsing them into one number loses exactly the case where a rare output is the dangerous one.
Why B
The probability safety score reflects the likelihood that a model response is associated with the respective harm. The severity score reflects the magnitude of how harmful a response might be, and content can carry a low probability score with a high severity score, or the reverse.

Safety and content filters, Agent Platform generative AI documentation, checked August 2026The probability safety score reflects the likelihood that a model response is associated with the respective harm. It has an associated confidence score between 0.0 and 1.0 , rounded to one decimal place. The confidence score is discretized into four confidence levels: NEGLIGIBLE , LOW , MEDIUM , and HIGH . The severity score reflects the magnitude of how harmful a model response might be. It has an associated severity score ranging from 0.0 to 1.0 , rounded to one decimal place.

Now you: objective 6.1 questions
No account needed. The explanation opens when you answer.
Sample question 1 of 3
A team configures safety thresholds through the Cloud console and expects severity to be taken into account. What does the console actually use?
Sample question 2 of 3
A team sets a console safety threshold to Block few for one harm category. What gets blocked under that setting?
Sample question 3 of 3
An engineer wants the API filter to weigh only the likelihood of harm and ignore how damaging it would be. What must change?
