How do you translate modern terms line AI into sumerian?
I’m almost sure Sumerian had words for “artificial” and for “intelligence”.”Paracetamol” on the other hand… :-)
One could also imagine asking a group of Sumerian experts to craft new words for the occasion such that the updated language has enough flexibility to capture the content of modern datasets.
Why not go all the way and use a constructed language (like Lojban or Ithkuil) that’s specifically designed for the purpose?
Or even better, Quenya or Þindarin.
