1. Kant ultimately agrees with Hume... by means of a faculty...
(Knowledge is nothing but a word game that signifies appearances)
2. As far as dualism (mind/body or soul/body) is considered, the metaphysical entity of mind or soul or what have you cannot be empirically proven... at best it is a hoped for seperation from the physical body which is not founded in the senses...
3. Inductive reasoning is unreasonable
4. Unsensed and unsensable events are highly suspect...
5. the problems in AI only illustrate our inability to map almost immeasurable amounts of synapses and the like in the human brain and successfully transfer them to an artifical device... smaller functioning machines can be made... one task built upon another task upon another ect. but eventually we will create the apparatus for the machine to spring to cognition...

"I really like this jacket, but the sleeves are much too long..." insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results...
