Parajumbles Question 4 - CAT 2023

Question

Algorithms hosted on the internet are accessed by many, so biases in AI models have resulted in much larger impact, adversely affecting far larger groups of people.

Though “algorithmic bias” is the popular term, the foundation of such bias is not in algorithms, but in the data; algorithms are not biased, data is, as algorithms merely reflect persistent patterns that are present in the training data.

Despite their widespread impact, it is relatively easier to fix AI biases than human-generated biases, as it is simpler to identify the former than to try to make people unlearn behaviors learnt over generations.

The impact of biased decisions made by humans is localised and geographically confined, but with the advent of AI, the impact of such decisions is spread over a much wider scale.

Correct Sequence: 4123
Explanation: Sentence 4 introduces a comparative baseline, contrasting localized human biases with the massive geographical scale of AI. Sentence 1 flows directly from this scale argument (4-1), explaining why the impact is so vast (internet-hosted algorithms reach larger populations). Sentence 2 pivots into a definitional nuance, explaining that despite the term "algorithmic bias," the true rot lies inside the training data rather than the mathematical rules. Sentence 3 serves as the conclusion, using the phrase "Despite their widespread impact..." to link back to the earlier points while explaining why AI bias is simpler to fix than generational human bias.
FundaMakers Tip: Contrastive Anchors. Sentence 3 uses the phrase "Despite their widespread impact...". This directly nods back to the heavy thematic focus on scale and impact explored across both sentences 4 and 1, positioning 3 as a great closing thought.
