1. What is the primary purpose of generating a plain-language summary of a Data Use Agreement using AI?

   1. To automatically negotiate better terms with the data provider
   2. To help the research team understand their obligations under the agreement
   3. To replace the legal document for faster execution
   4. To eliminate the need for legal review of the agreement

2. A research team receives a new Data Use Agreement and wants to quickly understand what they are permitted to do with the collaborator's data. What should they ask the AI to generate?

   1. A plain-language summary highlighting permitted uses and restrictions
   2. A list of legal violations the agreement might contain
   3. A rewritten version of the agreement with simplified wording
   4. A comparison between their institution's policy and the agreement

3. An AI tool generates a summary stating the data must be deleted 90 days after the project ends. However, the summary does not specify what happens if the project is extended. What should the research team do?

   1. Flag this ambiguous clause for follow-up with the data provider
   2. Extend the project immediately to avoid the deletion deadline
   3. Ask the AI to clarify the ambiguity in the agreement
   4. Assume the 90-day rule still applies to any extension

4. Which of the following statements accurately reflects the legal standing of an AI-generated plain-language summary compared to the executed Data Use Agreement?

   1. Only the executed agreement governs the parties' rights and obligations
   2. The summary has the same legal weight as the executed agreement
   3. The summary supersedes the agreement if there is a conflict
   4. Both documents carry equal legal authority in court

5. A team member suggests using the AI-generated summary as the official document for audit purposes because it is easier to read. What is the appropriate response?

   1. Agree, since the summary accurately reflects the agreement
   2. Request that the data provider sign the summary to make it official
   3. Use both documents together for maximum clarity
   4. Explain that only the executed DUA should be used for audits and compliance

6. The AI summary indicates that the data provider must be notified 30 days before any publication. What aspect of the agreement is this describing?

   1. Publication review requirements
   2. Data destruction protocols
   3. Retention obligations
   4. Subcontracting restrictions

7. What can AI effectively do when summarizing a Data Use Agreement?

   1. Automatically enforce the agreement terms during research
   2. Predict whether the data provider will approve the agreement
   3. Determine if the agreement terms are favorable to the research team
   4. Identify and highlight ambiguous clauses that need legal review

8. What does the term 'destruction obligations' refer to in a Data Use Agreement?

   1. Rules about who can access the data during the project
   2. Procedures for publishing research findings that use the data
   3. Guidelines for sharing data with other research institutions
   4. Requirements for how data must be permanently deleted when no longer needed

9. A team is considering using a new AI tool to help process their Data Use Agreement. What should they keep in mind about the tool's limitations?

   1. AI summaries should never replace review of the executed agreement
   2. AI can resolve any ambiguity about what the agreement permits
   3. AI can guarantee the data provider will approve their research plan
   4. AI can identify all potential legal risks in the agreement

10. When should the research team consult the actual executed Data Use Agreement instead of relying solely on the AI summary?

    1. Only when preparing for an audit or compliance review
    2. When they want to understand the general purpose of the agreement
    3. Whenever they need to make decisions about data handling
    4. Only when the AI summary contains errors

    1. A subcontracting restriction
    2. A destruction obligation
    3. A retention requirement
    4. A publication review obligation

12. Why is it important to flag ambiguous clauses when reviewing an AI-generated DUA summary?

    1. Ambiguous clauses automatically void the agreement
    2. Clarity is needed before the team can confirm they understand their obligations
    3. Ambiguous clauses favor the research team by default
    4. AI will correct ambiguous clauses in the next summary version

13. What should happen after the AI generates a plain-language summary of a Data Use Agreement?

    1. The data provider will automatically receive the summary for approval
    2. The summary should be reviewed and ambiguous items flagged for legal follow-up
    3. The team can immediately begin using data according to the summary
    4. The AI will update the summary if any terms change

14. A researcher notices the AI summary says data must be retained for 'a reasonable period.' This is an example of what kind of issue?

    1. A standard industry practice
    2. A permitted use exception
    3. An ambiguous clause requiring clarification
    4. A clear retention obligation

15. What is the relationship between the AI-generated summary and the executed Data Use Agreement in terms of which document takes precedence?

    1. They have equal precedence since the summary reflects the agreement
    2. The summary takes precedence because it is easier to understand
    3. They are separate documents with no relationship to each other
    4. The executed agreement takes precedence as the legally binding document
