31 The correct answer is G:
In
the second paragraph, the text quotes Stella Pachidi talking
about ‘the “algorithmication” of jobs that are dependent on data rather than on production’.
Saying that jobs are ‘dependent on data’ is the same as saying that they rely on information.
32 The correct answer is E:
In
the sixth paragraph, the text refers to Pachidi’s
observations
that workers sometimes begin to ‘learn through the “algorithm’s eyes” and become dependent
on its instructions’. Becoming ‘dependent’ on AI’s instructions means the same as having a
growing reliance on its recommendations.
33 The correct answer is C:
In the sixth paragraph, the text says, ‘Alternative explorations –
where experimentation and human instinct lead to progress and new ideas – are effectively
discouraged.’ ‘Instinct’ has
a similar meaning to intuition, ‘progress and new ideas’ has a
similar meaning to innovation, and ‘discouraged’ has a similar meaning to prevented. The
text is therefore saying that using experimentation and human
instinct is discouraged in
the workplace.
34 The correct answer is F:
In the eighth paragraph, the text refers to the researchers and
says, ‘Their objective is to make AI technologies more
trustworthy and transparent, so that
organisations and individuals understand how AI decisions are made.’ Having trust in something
is a synonym for
having confidence in something, so trying to make AI technology ‘more
trustworthy’ has the same meaning as trying to increase people’s confidence in it.
