정답 ③

해설 알고리즘의 영향력을 인식하고 그 속에서 인간의 주체성을 지키기 위한 능동적인 노력을 강조하고 있으므로 'Keeping Your Human Agency Amid Algorithms'가 가장 적절하다.

Q8 빈칸문장-객관식 다음 빈칸에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오.

• ① Algorithms prioritize the speed of information processing to ensure that users can access massive amounts of data without experiencing any technical delays.
• ② The economic impact of digital architecture is often measured by how much revenue a platform generates through targeted advertisements and user engagement.
• ③ Most people prefer to have their digital experiences simplified by automated systems rather than having to manually manage their own preferences every day.
• ④ Sophisticated architects must constantly update their software to prevent security breaches and protect the personal information of their global user base.
• ⑤ While nudges can be used for beneficial purposes, such as encouraging healthier habits, they also carry the potential for manipulation, particularly when the underlying objectives of the architects are not aligned with the well-being or autonomy of the individual.

정답 ⑤

해설 앞 문장에서 알고리즘이 우리를 특정 경로로 유도(nudge)한다는 점을 언급했고, 뒷 문장에서 이러한 알고리즘 환경에서의 인간 주체성 보호를 논하고 있으므로, 그 중간에서 '넛지'의 양면성(유익함과 조작 가능성)을 다루는 이 문장이 논리적으로 가장 적절합니다.

[주어진 글]
The concept of "choice architecture," popularized in behavioral economics, highlights how the design of the environment in which choices are made can significantly influence the decisions people make. Algorithms are, in essence, sophisticated architects of our digital environments.

(A) It means actively seeking out diverse perspectives, challenging algorithmic recommendations, and making deliberate choices that go against the predicted grain. It involves cultivating a healthy skepticism towards the seemingly objective outputs of algorithms and remembering that these systems are designed by humans with specific goals, and that their data is a reflection of past realities, not necessarily a prescription for future flourishing.

(B) By curating what we see, what we are recommended, and what options are presented to us, they subtly, and sometimes not so subtly, nudge us towards particular paths. While nudges can be used for beneficial purposes, such as encouraging healthier habits, they also carry the potential for manipulation, particularly when the underlying objectives of the architects are not aligned with the well-being or autonomy of the individual.

(C) The question then becomes: how can we cultivate and protect our human agency in an increasingly algorithmic world? It requires a conscious effort to maintain critical engagement with the technologies we use.

• ① (A) - (B) - (C)
• ② (B) - (A) - (C)
• ③ (B) - (C) - (A)
• ④ (C) - (A) - (B)
• ⑤ (C) - (B) - (A)

Q11 요약문빈칸 다음 글을 아래와 같이 요약하고자 한다. 빈칸에 들어갈 알맞은 어휘를 주어진 철자로 시작하여 각 한 단어로 답안을 작성하시오.

Choice architecture describes how environmental design influences human decision-making, a process now dominated by digital (a)a____________. These systems subtly (b)m____________ user behavior by curating information and recommendations, which may conflict with individual (c)a____________. To preserve human agency, people must maintain critical (d)e____________ with technology by actively seeking diverse perspectives and challenging algorithmic outputs. Developing a healthy skepticism toward these systems is essential to ensure that our future choices remain deliberate rather than merely reflections of past data patterns.

정답
(a) algorithms [알고리즘들; 계산 방법들] - Choice architecture describes how environmental design influences human decision-making, a process now dominated by digital algorithms.
(b) manipulate [(기계 등을) 잘 다루다, 조작하다; (여론 등을) 조종하다; 교묘하게 조작하다] - These systems subtly manipulate user behavior by curating information and recommendations, which may conflict with individual autonomy.
(c) autonomy [자율성] - These systems subtly manipulate user behavior by curating information and recommendations, which may conflict with individual autonomy.
(d) engagement [업무, 작업] - To preserve human agency, people must maintain critical engagement with technology by actively seeking diverse perspectives and challenging algorithmic outputs.
