Does an AI need NLU?

An AI might need natural language processing in order to:
1. Exchange significant amounts of information with humans.
2. Communicate with other AIs, especially different specialist AIs.
3. If AIs need and have a “language of thought.”
But: 1. Humans do not communicate much with other animal species. AIs may not communicate much with humans even if there are humans around.
2. There might be only one AI, though it might be distributed across a computer network. Then there’d be no other AIs to communicate with.
3. The language of thought model may not apply or may be incorrect.
At least some AIs may well have no use for natural language understanding.
