  AI often elicits a sense of amazement, of wonder, of possibility for the future. But just as AI offers advancements, there is also the potential for a bleak future – machines are prone to bias and racism. These machines learn by running training data through algorithms, each crafted by human handlers. Therefore, if the data inputted into the system is biased, the result will be biased too. This is dangerous and the threat needs to be addressed before biased AI systems become ubiquitous. Ultimately, AI systems have the potential to deepen existing systemic inequalities, particularly in industries like healthcare, employment, and criminal justice. Which one of the following is an assumption required by the argument ?

  • Existing data sets can incorporate the biases of human handlers which reflects in AI output.
  • Large-scale deployment of AI systems has been hindered by the likelihood of biased results.
  • Human handlers have tried to manipulate AI systems through the use of biased data.
  • Industries like healthcare, employment, and criminal justice are in urgent need of AI systems.
