Question 1 of 18
When would you choose generative AI rather than a supervised classifier in a SOC workflow, and what validation would you require before using its remediation suggestions?
Strong Interview Answer
Use generative AI when the task requires creating new narrative or code-like output, such as incident summaries or first-pass remediation steps. A supervised classifier is better for selecting predefined labels. Before operational use, validate generated facts, commands, targets, and side effects against source evidence and approved procedures.
What to Listen For
- generative AI creates new content
- classifier selects predefined labels
- grounding or source verification
- command/change validation
- human or policy-controlled approval
Caution
Look for applied reasoning and tradeoffs, not a one-word term or a restatement of the multiple-choice item.
