Lojban++: An Interlingua for Communication
Between Humans and AGIs

Abstract.
Lojban is a constructed language based on predicate logic,
with no syntactic ambiguity and carefully controllable semantic ambigu-
ity. It originated in the middle of the last century, and there is now a
community of several hundred human speakers. It is argued here that Lo-
jban++, a minor variation on Lojban, would be highly suitable as a lan-
guage for communication between humans and early-stage AGI systems.
