Artificial language cannot replace the complexity of natural language, linguist says

Linguist Ray Jackendoff says artificial language machines cannot replace the complexity of natural language.

He says AI has already surpassed human intelligence in certain domains such as chess and numerical computations.

Linguists are working to deepen our understanding of the origins and nature of language and its potential to be replicated through artificial intelligence and language machines.

“While basic arithmetic expressions like "2+2=4" are universally understood, they cannot replace the complexity of natural language, which can ask questions, give instructions, and express emotions through poetry, history, and fiction,” he added Although, creating a universal language remains a challenge, as seen in the failed experience of Esperanto, “ English has already colonized much of the world, and some may argue that it has become a second unified language.” Despite the advancements in artificial intelligence, it seems that natural language will remain unique to human communication..
