A passage is given with five questions following it. Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into decision-making systems raises profound ethical dilemmas. Unlike humans, Al lacks consciousness or moral intent, yet it increasingly influences areas such as hiring, law enforcement, and healthcare. When algorithms are trained on biased data, they may perpetuate systemic inequalities under the guise of neutrality. Moreover, responsibility becomes diffuse-if an Al-driven system causes harm, who is accountable: the programmer, the user, or the company? Transparency, often lacking in proprietary models, further complicates public trust. Ethical Al development must therefore go beyond functionality; it requires fairness audits, explainability, and robust oversight mechanisms. Without these, we risk embedding opaque biases into institutions that shape human lives. The dilemma is not merely technical but philosophical-can machines, devoid of values, make morally sound choices, or are we outsourcing ethical responsibility to lines of code?

182

What is the central ethical concern raised in the passage?

((a))
Al's ability to outperform humans
((b))
Lack of data for Al training
((c))
Delegating moral responsibility to non-conscious systems
((d))
Al replacing engineers in key jobs

Show Answer

Answer: ((a))

Al's ability to outperform humans

183

What does the author imply by describing Al's neutrality as a guise?

((a))
Al systems are incapable of calculations
((b))
The neutrality is often an illusion due to biased training data
((c))
Al always requires human intervention
((d))
Al refuses to learn from its environment

Show Answer

Answer: ((a))

Al systems are incapable of calculations

184

Why is accountability in Al decision-making described as "diffuse"?

((a))
Because outcomes are always beneficial
((b))
Because many parties may share responsibility
((c))
Because Al systems self-regulate completely
((d))
Because data is usually open-source

Show Answer

Answer: ((a))

Because outcomes are always beneficial

185

What does the author suggest is required for ethical Al development?

((a))
Global deployment and faster algorithms
((b))
Political lobbying and marketing strategies
((c))
Technical precision and corporate growth
((d))
Fairness checks, transparency, and oversight

Answer: ((a))
