• Abstract: Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, a major contribution to the history of epistemology, proposes a table of categories to elucidate the structure of the a priori principle of human judgment. The technology of artificial intelligence (AI), based on functionalism, claims to simulate or replicate human judgment. To assess this claim, it is necessary to study whether AI judgment possesses the characteristics of human judgment. This paper argues that AI judgments exhibit a form that cannot be understood in terms of the characteristics of human judgments according to Kant. Because the characteristics of judgment overlap, we can call this AI's uncertainty. Then, I show that concepts without physical intuitions are not easy to explain when their functions are shown through vision. Finally, I illustrate that even if AI makes sentences through subject and predicate in natural language, which are components of judgment, it is difficult to determine whether AI understands the concepts to the level humans can accept. This shows that it is questionable whether the explanation through natural language is reliable.

  People's decision-making abilities often fail to improve when they rely on AI for decision-support. Most AI systems offer "unilateral" explanations that justify the AI's decision but do not account for users' thinking. We introduce a framework for generating human-centered contrastive explanations that explain the difference between AI's choice and a predicted, likely human choice.

  We use a novel semantic approach to achieve decidability. Specifically, we augment the logic of knowledge S5$_n$ and with an interaction axiom called (knowledge) commutativity. We prove that our framework admits a finitary non-fixpoint characterization of common knowledge, which is of independent interest.

  We argue that in order to fully understand a decision, not only knowledge about relevant features is needed, but that the awareness of irrelevant information also highly contributes to the creation of a user's mental model of an AI system. Our approach, which we call Alterfactual Explanations, is based on showing an alternative reality where irrelevant features of an AI's input are altered. We show that alterfactual explanations are suited to convey an understanding of different aspects of the AI's reasoning than established counterfactual explanation methods.

  We consider two issues currently faced by Artificial Intelligence development: the lack of ethics and interpretability of AI decisions. We experimentally show that the empirical and liberal turn of the production of explanations tends to select AI explanations with a low denunciatory power. We propose two scenarios for the future development of ethical AI: more external regulation or more liberalization of AI explanations.
