Question

[116]. Read the following passage carefully and answer the question.

Passage: Artificial intelligence now helps doctors read scans, helps farmers predict rain and helps students find information in seconds. The same power raises hard questions. If a machine recommends a medical treatment or rejects a job application, who is responsible when it is wrong? If a system learns from old data that contains bias, it may repeat that bias at great speed and scale. Speed is not wisdom. A fast answer can still be an unfair answer. This is why rules for artificial intelligence must be written before harm spreads, not after: systems should explain their reasons in plain language, allow a human to overrule them, and be tested on people who were not in the original data. Technology should extend human judgement, not replace the duty to judge fairly. In the context of the passage, the word 'bias' most nearly means:

1.
an unfair preference for or against a person or group
2.
a single example of a plant or animal collected for study
3.
a book or document written by hand before printing
4.
moving back, becoming smaller over time
