**Claim.** The epistemological capacity to understand quality, risk, and consequence by bearing exposure to outcomes is precisely what AI systems lack, and no computational advance can produce it independently; the capacity must be institutionally constructed.

**Type.** condition  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- holds regardless of how dramatic future computational advances are

**Source quote.**
