I'd disagree, there is another part of dealing with language that we don't have a good idea of how to do. Deciding whether to assimilate it and if so how. If I specify in a language to a computer that it should do something, it will do it no matter what (as long as I have sufficient authority). Telling a human to do something, e.g. wave your hands in the air and shout, the human will decide to do that based on how much it trusts you and whether they think it is a good idea. Generally a good idea in a situation where you are attracting the attention of rescuers, otherwise likely to make you look silly. I'm generally in favour of getting some NLU into AIs mainly because a lot of the information we have about the world is still in that form, so an AI without access to that information would have to reinvent it, which I think would take a long time. Even mathematical proofs are still somewhat in natural language. Other than that you could work on machine language understanding where information was taken in selectively and judged on its merits not its security credentials.
