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.
