A city releases a free app that shares real-time locations of buses so riders spend less time waiting. Months later, reporters note that pickpockets use the same live crowding data to target the most packed stops. Which statement best fits the AP CSP view of this outcome?

Engineers design a recommendation feature to keep users on a learning site longer so they finish more lessons. It succeeds, but many users report losing sleep because they cannot stop watching suggested videos. Which pair correctly labels the intended purpose and the unintended consequence?

A school district moves all homework submission online. Which factor described by the framework as contributing to the digital divide would most directly prevent some students from completing assignments at home?

A national survey finds that rural households and lower-income households are far less likely to have high-speed internet than wealthy urban households. A policymaker argues this gap has no real effect on people. Which response is most consistent with the framework?

A hiring tool is trained on ten years of a company's past hires, who were overwhelmingly from one demographic group. The tool then rates similar candidates highest. Where did the bias primarily enter, and why is it hard to catch?

Two image apps both underperform for dark-skinned users. App X was trained almost entirely on photos of light-skinned people. App Y was trained on a balanced photo set, but a developer hard-coded a brightness threshold that assumes lighter skin. Which correctly distinguishes the source of bias in each?

Which of the following are examples of crowdsourcing as the AP CSP framework defines it?

A research lab wants to catalog millions of galaxy images faster than its small staff ever could. Why might crowdsourcing this classification beat assigning it to the single in-house team?

A student copies several paragraphs from a website into a school project and presents them as original writing, giving no credit. Which description best captures what is wrong under the framework's treatment of intellectual property?

A game developer wants to include a background music track in a commercial game she sells, without paying royalties or asking permission, while still crediting the composer. Which option best matches her needs?

A team wants to build on an existing program, view and modify its source code, and redistribute their improved version. Which statement about open source software is accurate here?

Which of the following are considered personally identifiable information (PII) whose exposure raises the risks the framework warns about?

A bank requires a password plus a one-time code from an app on the user's phone. A friend says adding a second password would provide the same protection as this setup. Why is the app-based code stronger as multifactor authentication?

Two systems both use encryption. System A uses one shared secret key that both sender and receiver must already have. System B gives everyone a public key to encrypt messages that only the holder's private key can decrypt. Which correctly distinguishes them?
