Sanskrit and AI (Artificial Intelligence)

I am going to read a page from the book "The Wonder That is Sanskrit" by Sampad and Vijay.
Sanskrit in Arts, Sciences and Daily Life p. 59
Sanskrit and Artificial Intelligence
We may perhaps begin with a little-known yet important and striking finding of the recent times. The modern exploding science of computers and artificial intelligence, in their search for an ideal computer language, have found the ancient language Sanskrit to be the most suited for this purpose. We may quote here the words of Rick Briggs of the NASA Ames Research Center. He says, in an introduction to an article in the Al magazine, "In the past twenty years, much time, effort, and money has been expended on designing an unambiguous representation of natural languages to make them accessible to computer processing. These efforts have centered around creating schemata designed to parallel logical relations with relations expressed by the syntax and semantics of natural languages, which are clearly cumbersome and ambiguous in their function as vehicles for the transmission of logical data. Understandably, there is widespread belief that natural languages are unsuitable for the transmission of many ideas that artificial languages can render with great precision and mathematical rigour.
But this dichotomy, which has served as a premise underlying much work in the areas of linguistics and artificial intelligence, is a false One. There is at least one language, Sanskrit, which for the duration of almost 1000 years was a living spoken language with a considerable literature of its own. Besides works of literary value, there was a long philosophical and grammatical tradition that has continued to exist with undiminished vigour until the present century.
Among the accomplishments of the grammarians can be reckoned a method for paraphrasing Sanskrit in a manner that is identical not only in essence but in form with current works in Artificial Intelligence. This article demonstrates that a natural language can serve as an artificial language also, and that much work in Artificial Intelligence has been reinventing a wheel millennia old."
