One of the major obstacles to real AI is the belief that knowledge of a natural language is necessary for intelligence. A human-level intelligent system should be expected to have the ability to learn a natural language, but it is not necessary. It is better to start with a formal language, with unambiguous formal syntax, as the primary interface between human beings and AI systems. This type of language could be called a "para-natural formal language." It eliminates all of the syntactical ambiguity that makes competent use of a natural language so difficult to implement in an AI system. Such a language would also be a member of the class "fifth generation computer language."
Not true. If it is too dumb to acquire a natural language then it is too dumb, period.
