'''The Assembly''' is a clandestine group of [[human]] [[artificial intelligence]]s referring to themselves as "Minds".<ref name="Datapad">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''[[Data pads]]''</ref> The purpose of the Assembly is to regulate the activities of artificial intelligences, as well as analyze and extrapolate data for the continued survival of the human race. It appears that the Assembly remains secret from most humans, though some of their recorded sessions were discovered by an [[Discoverer (data pads)|unknown individual]].<ref name="Datapad"/> | |||
The Assembly consisted of two parties, the [[Assembly Majority|Majority]] and the [[Assembly Minority|Minority]]. The Majority appeared to support indirect action, while the Minority was in favor of acting directly for the betterment of humans. There is evidence to suggest that the Assembly saw themselves as the "shepherds" of the human "flock"; however, the central argument of this issue was whether they could be a part of the human empire and still remain unbiased judges of human society.<ref name="Datapad"/> The Assembly also contained the [[Committee of Minds for Security]], a group responsible for ensuring the security of humanity from extra-[[sol system|solar]] alien races.<ref name="Datapad"/> | The Assembly consisted of two parties, the [[Assembly Majority|Majority]] and the [[Assembly Minority|Minority]].
