      That’s not necessarily true. They may speak the same language, or a very similar language as/to a tribe nearby that is contacted.

      Program an AI to detect and roughly learn the language.

      Really put the matrix to the test. Can AI effectively lead the most basic “civilization” left on the planet and then watch elon fuck it up.

        ai can’t translate languages while being given JUST phrases in the target language. It needs phrases in the target language AND English translations

          Obviously I understand that training a neural network is necessary, but AI has been used in some capacity to translate previously indecipherable languages.

          If you had hidden cameras, you could gather data on how the language is being used in various scenarios. That might be enough for an ai to use to “learn” the language

        This sounds like the sort of fucked up thing someone could write a SF novel about. Imagine thinking a test for AI is worth messing with innocent people’s lives.
