Question
In the question below, a statement has three
words highlighted in bold, which may or may not be correctly used. You are required to choose from the options, the one that provides the correct combination of the 3 words which fit in the blanks grammatically and contextually. If the original set is correct, please select option E as your answer. Some tech industry leaders and futurists are hopeful that weak AI systems can hopelessly support social justice initiatives, and unlike humans, it is argued, algorithms can eliminate unbiased decision-making, reaching a degree of neutrality and just that humans cannot attain.Solution
Solution The sentence's intended idea is to express optimism about weak AI systems optimistically contributing to social justice, with algorithms being capable of eliminating bias, achieving fairness beyond human reach. The original words in bold are incorrect because 'hopelessly' implies a lack of hope or effectiveness, which contradicts the optimism expressed; 'unbiased' is contradictory to refer to the errors AI seeks to avoid; and 'just' is awkward and incomplete as an adjective in this context. Option B: 'Ostensibly' (seemingly) introduces doubt and 'impulsive' (acting without thinking) does not fit the logical nature of algorithms, while 'dispassionateness' (lack of emotion) is totally irrelevant. Option C: 'Extensively' (widely) and ‘impartiality' (fairness) could fit, but 'partisan' (showing bias) contradicts the goal of eliminating bias. Option D: 'Vicariously' (indirectly) is irrelevant contextually, 'fallacious' (based on a mistaken belief) contradicts the positive intention, and 'detachment' (lack of involvement) does not capture the fairness AI aims to achieve. Option A: 'Positively' (in a good way) fits the optimism, 'biased' (showing favouritism) reflects what AI seeks to eliminate, and 'objectivity' (neutrality) aligns perfectly with the goal of fairness. Hence, option A is correct.
