From natural (human to human) discourse to artificial intelligence-assisted (human to artificial intelligence) discourse

The paper examines the role of language in the process of production of artificial intelligence ( AI ) assisted discourse within human-computer communication. In this connection, our research question is: can AI function as a communicator and replace human as an equal discourse participant? For this purpose, the paper focuses on the ways of reproduction of natural discourse production by AI . The most challenging issue from a linguistic perspective is how AI deals with various social and individual factors, which heavily influence the process of natural text construction and natural discourse production. Thus, the paper aims to highlight various linguistic challenges, which AI technologies are expected to resolve within human-computer communication.
