Question: 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.
Sentence 4 introduces the concept that biased decisions, initially localized when made by humans, gain a broader impact with the emergence of AI, laying the groundwork for subsequent discussion.
Considering Sentences 1 and 2, we observe Sentence 1 elaborating on the ramifications of biased decisions within the AI context, emphasizing that algorithms, accessible to many via the internet, magnify adverse effects on larger populations. Hence, sentence 1 follows sentence 4.
Sentence 2 clarifies "algorithmic bias," stressing that biases stem from the data rather than the algorithms themselves, reflecting persistent patterns in training data. Hence, sentence 2 logically follows sentence 1.
Sentence 3 highlights that despite AI biases' widespread impact, rectifying them is comparatively easier than human biases since it's simpler to detect and address algorithmic biases than to unlearn ingrained human behaviors over generations. This conclusion logically extends from the point made in Sentence 2.
Hence, 4123.
