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.
