Questions –13 The correct answer is false

31 The correct answer is vii: 
The text refers to ways of improving trust in AI and then it says 
‘Another solution may be to reveal more about the algorithms which AI uses and the purposes 
they serve. Several high-profile social media companies and online marketplaces already release 
transparency reports about government requests and surveillance disclosures.’ The words 
‘reveal’, ‘transparency reports’ and ‘disclosures’ are all connected with the idea of openness. 
The text then says, ‘A similar practice for AI could help people have a better understanding of 
the way algorithmic decisions are made.’ In this sentence, the writer is suggesting that this kind 
of openness should be encouraged.

32 The correct answer is v: 
The text refers to some research and says, ‘one study showed 
that when people were allowed the freedom to slightly modify an algorithm, they felt more 
satisfied with its decisions, more likely to believe it was superior and more likely to use it in the 
future’. Allowing people to ‘slightly modify an algorithm’ is an example of involving users in AI 
processes, and the three positive results of this are examples of advantages. The text then says 
that ‘if people are given a degree of responsibility for how [AI systems] are implemented, they 
will be more willing to accept AI into their lives’. This is a further example of involving users in AI 
processes and a further advantage which results from the involvement. 
33 The correct answer is C: 
The text gives examples of what AI can do and then highlights the 
existence of a problem, saying, ‘Yet for all these technological advances, we still seem to deeply 
lack confidence in AI predictions.’
