NinetynineCAT 2023 Slot 1 VARC Q21 Para Jumbles
Question 21 of the Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension (VARC) section, CAT 2023 Slot 1, with CAT's official answer and a worked solution.
The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4) given below, when properly sequenced, would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequencing of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the four numbers as your answer.
1. Algorithms hosted on the internet are accessed by many, so biases in AI models have resulted in much larger impact, adversely affecting far larger groups of people.
2. Though "algorithmic bias" is the popular term, the foundation of such bias is not in algorithms, but in the data; algorithms are not biased, data is, as algorithms merely reflect persistent patterns that are present in the training data.
3. Despite their widespread impact, it is relatively easier to fix AI biases than human-generated biases, as it is simpler to identify the former than to try to make people unlearn behaviors learnt over generations.
4. The impact of biased decisions made by humans is localised and geographically confined, but with the advent of AI, the impact of such decisions is spread over a much wider scale.

TITA: type in the answer. There are no options and no negative marking.
Answer: 4123 Para Jumbles TITA
Solution
- 4 opens with the contrast: human bias is local, but AI spreads biased decisions over a much wider scale.
- 1 explains why the scale is larger: algorithms on the internet are accessed by many.
- 2 clarifies that this 'algorithmic bias' really lies in the data, which reflects persistent patterns.
- 3 concludes 'Despite their widespread impact', AI biases are easier to fix because those patterns are simpler to identify than human habits. Order: 4123.
