Warm air holds more water vapor than cold air, just as warm water can dissolve more salt than cold water. As the air conditioner cools the warmer air, it can't hold all of the moisture and will condense. since it is too heavy to remain suspended in air, it forms on a solid surface, hence, the moist filter.

When it's cold out, that's why the inside of your car windshield fogs up just after you get in it. Your breath and body heat warm and moisten the air in the car and when it meets the colder windshield, the fog that forms is actually moisture in the air condensing on the cooler glass surface.

What would cause a central air conditioner to make a dripping sound in the inside unit and leak water?

When air is cooled the water in it comes out (like mist forming on the outside of a class filled with cold coke) and this happens in the air conditioner. Normally the dripping water is drained way to the outside (or a drain) by a pipe. If the pipe gets blocked the water will overflow and the conditioner will leak water - get it serviced.
