Question 1
A network operations center forecasting WAN saturation has a documented requirement to estimate a likely future network condition from learned patterns. Which choice is the best operational match? Choose ONE.
- AI-assisted issue correlation and root-cause guidance
- Predictive AI
- Generative AI
- AI-driven baselining
Correct Answer: B
Correct Answer
Answer B is correct because Choose Predictive AI for a network operations center forecasting WAN saturation. The scenario needs to estimate a likely future network condition from learned patterns, and Predictive AI supplies that function. Generative AI primarily creates new content such as text, summaries, or suggested procedures rather than forecasting a numeric or categorical future outcome. That distinction is decisive.
Incorrect Answers
Answer C is incorrect because This option uses Generative AI for turning a set of alerts and telemetry into a draft incident summary or proposed remediation explanation. At a network operations center forecasting WAN saturation, the required function belongs to Predictive AI. The mechanism does not match.
Answer D is incorrect because AI-driven baselining uses observed network behavior to establish what normal performance looks like for a specific environment. At a network operations center forecasting WAN saturation, it does not provide the requirement to estimate a likely future network condition from learned patterns. Predictive AI does.
Answer A is incorrect because AI-assisted issue correlation and root-cause guidance is intended for reducing alert noise when many symptoms trace back to the same network problem. The scenario at a network operations center forecasting WAN saturation instead requires a mechanism to estimate a likely future network condition from learned patterns. That is the role of Predictive AI.
Question 2
A campus team summarizing a complex incident has a documented requirement to create new text or suggested content from operational context. Which choice matches the evidence most directly? Choose ONE.
- Generative AI
- Machine-learning anomaly detection
- Machine-learning trend analysis
- Model training on representative historical data
Correct Answer: A
Correct Answer
Answer A is correct because Generative AI is appropriate for a campus team summarizing a complex incident.

Incorrect Answers
Answer D is incorrect because AI-driven baselining is intended for comparing current wireless or application KPIs with learned normal behavior for that site and time pattern. The scenario at a wireless assurance system learning normal client behavior instead requires a mechanism to detect behavior that departs materially from learned normal conditions. That is the role of Machine-learning anomaly detection.
Answer C is incorrect because Using AI-assisted issue correlation and root-cause guidance, the design correlates multiple signals and known relationships so operators can focus on the most likely underlying cause. For a wireless assurance system learning normal client behavior, the missing function is to detect behavior that departs materially from learned normal conditions; Machine-learning anomaly detection supplies it.
Answer B is incorrect because For a wireless assurance system learning normal client behavior, Model inference solves the wrong problem. It applies an already trained model to new operational data to produce a prediction, classification, anomaly score, or generated response. The scenario needs to detect behavior that departs materially from learned normal conditions, which points to Machine-learning anomaly detection.
