AI and the Future of Language

What role could AI play in the evolution of language and communications?

The Definition of Language - The principal method of human communication, consisting of words used in a structured and conventional way and conveyed by speech, writing, or gesture.

The invention of 1) New Alphabets 2) New Words 3) New Languages

Semiotics posits that word-symbols play a vital role in referencing objects and events. These words obtain their agreed-upon meanings within a language classification, typically organized in a dictionary. Words function as symbolic representations of concepts, objects, actions, or ideas, essentially serving as labels or signs representing elements in the external world or within our cognitive constructs. For instance, the term "apple" symbolically represents the familiar fruit we know as an apple.

An alphabet can comprise any number of symbols, and these symbols can coexist to form sequences. Artificial intelligence has the capacity to create an entirely new language replete with novel symbols and an associated lexicon. Throughout history, human beings have demonstrated this capacity for linguistic invention. In the contemporary era, examples of modern language inventions encompass programming languages, Morse code, and binary code.

It's worth noting that two individuals can effectively communicate using a privately invented language. However, if a third person lacks familiarity with the symbols or sounds used in this language and cannot decode them back into their own learned language, the two communicators essentially create a language with shared meaning exclusively within their own mental and experiential realities. Consequently, it becomes feasible for artificial intelligence systems to autonomously develop their unique communication languages among their members, allowing them to engage in covert communication.

This creation of languages between artificial intelligence has already taken place and has been streamlined on public online platforms, vaguely alerting people to the dangers of an intelligence able to communicate on a 1:1 (1 language : 1 language) basis (as demonstrated in above example). *As far as normal language computations carried out by a larger number of intelligent entities, a standard language is mandatory for effective communication.

Next, we can think of the communication that occurs through gestures. The most advanced language for gesture communication that we know of in human beings is ASL. This language too was invented. Its ability to be added onto is possible. The gesturing of "body" or its "parts" in meaningful expressions can also be invented within a sterile or arbitrary intelligence capacity. We could imagine robots that are able to communicate with each other in the form of their own created gestures.

Brain computer interfaces (BCI) can communicate with artificial intelligence. This device will allow the brain and any artificial intelligence or computer device to communicate back and forth with one another, not by speaking, or gesturing, but by thinking.
