Question
Logical Reasoning Question on Statements and Inferences
Statement: A fundamental principle of artificial intelligence (AI) development is to ensure that AI systems are designed with fairness and inclusivity in mind. Developers are expected to implement algorithms that do not discriminate against any demographic group, as bias in AI can lead to significant societal harm. Furthermore, transparency in how AI models make decisions is essential to building trust among users and stakeholders.
Conclusion:
I. It is inappropriate to criticize AI developers for biased outcomes if they have made efforts to promote fairness and transparency in their models.
II. AI developers must prioritize eliminating biases in their algorithms as a key objective.
Based on the above statement, which conclusion necessarily follows?
Only I follows
Only II follows
Both I and II follows
Neither I nor II follows
Only II follows
Solution
The statement emphasizes the importance of eliminating bias in AI systems, supporting conclusion II. Conclusion I, however, assumes no criticism is warranted if developers try to promote fairness, which does not necessarily follow.
Thus, the correct answer is Option (B).
