A static line of sight is a projected line.

This is the syntaxis:

static line of sight(sx#,sy#,sz#,tx#,ty#,tz#,range#,accuracy#)

sx#,sy#,sz# are the starting coords of the projected line.
tx#,ty#,tz# are the target coords of the projected line.
range# means the 'radius' of the projected line.
accuracy# . like it says: the accuracy of the projected line. The larger the value, the faster it works.

The projected line will be intersected when it hits a static collision box. The commands
static line of sight x()
static line of sight y()
static line of sight z()
are the coords of the intersection point.

Note: if the line hits a static collision box, the returnvalue will be 1.

it`s not actualy anything to do with AI per-se' ,it allows you check if something is present along a certain line.

can the npc see you? use line of sight to check
did that bullet hit the wall or an enemy, line of sight to test
whats the nearest object to you, line of sight

you just use it to make tests and it helps your program to make decisions.
