An AI assistant generated a script that uses `sudo` to run commands. The script is intended for a system where the admin wants to follow the principle of least privilege. What is the MOST appropriate action?

Add a comment to the script explaining why `sudo` is used.

Replace all `sudo` commands with `su -` to run the entire script as root.

Approve the script because `sudo` is a standard way to run privileged commands.

Review the script to ensure `sudo` is used only for the specific commands that require elevated privileges, and consider using `sudo -u` to run as a non-root user.

A developer is using an AI assistant to write a script that will be used to process sensitive customer data. The AI generates a script that is efficient but does not include any logging or error handling. What is the MOST responsible action?

Add comprehensive logging and error handling to the script before deploying it.

Deploy the script as-is because it is efficient and meets the functional requirements.

Ask the AI to generate a new script that is more efficient, without mentioning logging.

Use the script but run it manually so that errors can be observed in real-time.

A developer is using an AI assistant to generate a script that will be used to manage user accounts. The AI generates a script that is efficient but does not check if a user already exists before creating a new one. This could lead to errors or security issues. What is the MOST responsible action?

Ask the AI to generate a new script without mentioning the missing check.

Deploy the script as-is because it is efficient and the error is unlikely to occur.

Add a check to the script to verify if the user exists before attempting to create them, and handle the case where they do.

Add a comment to the script noting that the check is missing.

A large enterprise is selecting an AI code-generation tool. They have a strict data-residency requirement that all code and prompts must remain within the company's on-premises data center. They also need the tool to integrate with their existing IDE and support a wide range of languages. Which tool selection is MOST appropriate?

A cloud-based AI tool that offers a private endpoint for data transfer.

A local command-line AI tool that does not have IDE integration.

A self-hosted, open-source AI model that can be deployed in the on-premises data center and has IDE plugins.

A commercial cloud-based AI assistant with a strong reputation for code quality.

What is the primary purpose of reviewing AI-generated code before integration?

To document that the code was generated by an AI tool.

To ensure the code is formatted consistently with the project's style guide.

To verify that the code is correct, secure, and compliant with project standards.

To confirm that the AI tool was used in accordance with its license.
