Abstract: In this paper I attempt to critique some recent accounts of how AI systems can (not) inhabit our space of reasons, using Robert Brandom’s inferentialist semantics. In particular, I argue that the extreme complexity of deep neural networks does not prevent AI systems based on them from qualifying as rational agents, and that a given AI system can inhabit the space of reasons if it can play the game of giving and asking for reasons. In the last part of my paper, I argue that rethinking the place of AI systems in the space of reasons leads to a reopening of the debate about the transparency/explainability of algorithms.
