An '''artificial intelligence''' ('''AI''') is an artificial construct that exhibits intelligence similar, and in some categories far superior, to a sapient biological being. AI technology was used by the [[Forerunner]]s, and was later developed by [[human]]ity. According to the Forerunner [[Technological Achievement Tiers|Technological Tier]] ranking system, the extensive use of AI is one of the components for sociological and technological advancement.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/detail/95b4f4f02bf84038bd434c8b1dd5f994/tiers-of-technology '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Tiers of Technology'']</ref> The [[Covenant]] also made use of AI technology, but only in its simplest form, as their [[Covenant religion|religious doctrine]] forbade the creation of more sophisticated thinking machines.<ref name="ch188">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 188''</ref>

Humans use AIs to perform a wide variety of tasks. The duties of "smart" AIs include, but are not limited to, overseeing planetary shipping operations,<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 28''</ref> managing agricultural operations,<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 74''</ref> serving as a [[Planetary Security Intelligence]],<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 184''</ref> or controlling various functions aboard starships such as weapons and point defense systems. "Smart" AIs are created by scanning the neural patterns of human brains, and are capable of learning and introspection. Some human "smart" AIs, such as Cortana, are able to separate themselves into multiple runtimes or "fragments". This can be beneficial when the AI needs to perform multiple tasks or be in multiple places simultaneously.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 29''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 128''</ref> Fragmenting can also occur accidentally; the AI [[Melissa]] split into multiple fragments after encountering a [[slipspace anomaly]]. The sheer volume of information and calculations a "smart" artificial intelligence can process is astounding; Cortana was capable of performing five billion simultaneous operations in, as she put it, "the time it takes for me to tell you my name".<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "[[Human Weakness]]", ''page 271''</ref>

===Creation and design===
===Creation and design===
The process of creating an AI differs depending on whether it is of the "smart" or "dumb" variety. "Dumb" AIs are conventional—albeit highly sophisticated—supercomputers, and therefore do not require a brain as a template.<ref name="enc229">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 229''</ref> "Smart" AIs, however, are created by scanning the neural structure of a human brain and using it as a digital "framework" in a process known as [[Cognitive Impression Modeling]]. This process destroys the original brain tissue, so the brain to be used is typically obtained after the host is dead.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''pages 235-236''</ref>

AIs do not have physical bodies; in the case of "smart" AIs, they are advanced software consisting of a [[Riemann matrix]] for higher-function processing.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 182''</ref> This matrix can be downloaded into a [[data crystal chip]] for mobility.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 317''</ref> In case of [[rampancy]], the Riemann matrix has a fail-safe program that will destroy the AI. Although, this fail-safe is only implemented on "important" AIs.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 135''</ref>

Line 21: Line 21:
Because "smart" AIs are created using actual [[human]] brains, there are often residual thoughts, memories and/or feelings that remain as part of the AI's consciousness.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 33''</ref> These residuals can be anything from the "feeling" of a hair brush being pulled through hair (in the case of [[Sif]]), to an effect on the mannerisms and characteristics that make up the personality of an AI, in the case of Cortana and her likeness to [[Catherine Halsey|Doctor Catherine Halsey]].<ref name="journal">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]''</ref>

The programming of certain UNSC smart AIs can be overridden by uttering the code-phrase "undid-iridium" within earshot of an AI. Catherine Halsey used this to override {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s AI [[Roland]], though he was eventually able to regain control of himself.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''' — [[Spartan Ops#Season One (2012)|S1E7 ''Invasion'']]</ref>

However, the immense creative and processing power of a smart AI is not without cost. All such units have an unchangeable seven-year life span that limits their development as an independent entity.<ref name="fs195">'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 195''</ref> The problem of [[rampancy]] is a universal one with human AI development. As these thinking machines become increasingly powerful and knowledgeable, there remains less and less space within their memory to handle basic functions. In a simple analogy, a human AI could perhaps remember all of the knowledge of human history, science and beyond, and in the process ''forget'' how to "breathe".<ref>'''Dr. Halsey's personal journal''', ''December 25, 2534''</ref> In this fashion, AIs think themselves into intense states of jealousy, rage, despair, and ultimately death as their programming becomes unstable. As such, AIs are typically terminated before they can pose a danger to other humans or constructs.<ref name="cp86">'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 86''</ref>

The [[Forerunner]]s developed a civilization with an extremely advanced knowledge of artificial intelligence technologies. The Forerunner term for AI constructs was [[ancilla]].

The manner in which Forerunner AIs were typically created is unknown; it is likely very different from the [[human]] method of "transcribing" the brain of a sentient organism. However, at least one monitor, [[343 Guilty Spark]], was created using the neural patterns of a living [[Chakas|human]],<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 350''</ref> and a machine known as the [[Composer]] was used by the [[Ur-Didact]] to perform [[mind transfer|similar transfers]] on other humans around the same time.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 40-41''</ref>

Unlike human AIs, which exist purely as software, monitors are housed within large, shielded and roughly spherical metallic casings which possess a single illuminated "eye". This eye is presumably used to perceive the monitor's surroundings, and also functions as an emitter for various types of energy beam—including a highly destructive energy beam used for offensive purposes.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]''</ref> In addition to the standard monitor shell, the Forerunners created a number of different physical systems to house AIs, ranging from variations of the monitor casing to more exotic constructs, such as an enormous, spider-like armature used by Mendicant Bias on [[Installation 07]].<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 287''</ref> Typical Forerunner ancillas, found in their [[Forerunner personal armor|personal armor]], ships and [[domicile]]s, did not have physical casings and visually manifested themselves as Forerunner figures, rather similar to the avatars used by human AIs.

Despite the seemingly limitless lifespan of Forerunner AI, they are still nonetheless subject to rampancy if certain conditions are met. 343 Guilty Spark, for example, descended into rampancy after several millennia alone, turning hostile when Installation 04 was threatened.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]''', ''[[Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)|Terminals]]''</ref>

Forerunner AIs can be also installed in a human ship, functioning as a shipboard AI. The ''[[Ace of Spades]]'' notably had two Forerunner AIs serve in this capacity, the first being [[Little Bit]], a fragment of the caretaker ancilla of [[Trove]], and the second being 343 Guilty Spark. Because of the knowledge carried by Forerunner AI, any human ship with a Forerunner AI installed will receive a significant increase in its capabilities.

Precursor technology was extremely advanced, to the point that the Forerunners labeled it [[Technological Achievement Tiers|Tier 0]], or "Transsentient". Precursors based their technology upon what Forerunners called [[neural physics]]. The '''[[knowledge engine|Knowledge Engine]]''' is an artificial intelligence construct based on [[neural physics]] used by the [[Precursor]]s, considered analogous to the [[Forerunner]]s' [[ancilla]].<ref>''[[Halo: Warfleet]]'', p. 91</ref> The Precursors used knowledge engines to guide their vessels as they traveled between worlds.<ref>''Halo: Warfleet'', p. 8</ref>

The [[Covenant]]'s knowledge in the field of AI technology is notably inferior to that of humanity and the Forerunners.{{Ref/Novel|Id=CH18|CH|Chapter=18}} They consider fully-autonomous and sentient AIs like those used by humanity to be sacrilegious, due to half-understood warnings recovered of the [[Flood]]'s ability to compromise Forerunner AIs during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]]. This led to a long-standing ban on research into high-level thinking machines and networked circuits, with any research into the subject severely punished.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22Cov|Enc22|Page=217}} The crime of so-called "intellgience association" was the death penalty, with the [[Covenant religion|religious belief]] that this would be followed by damnation in the afterlife.{{Ref/Novel|Id=CH12|HCH|Chapter=12}} This crime did not extend to less-sophisticated AIs, and was instead relegated to machines that could "think".{{Ref/Anthology|Evo|Wages of Sin}}
The [[Covenant]]'s knowledge in the field of AI technology is notably inferior to that of the UNSC and the Forerunners.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 309''</ref> The AIs used by the Covenant are comparable to human "dumb" AIs, as they are non-sentient and are only designed to perform a certain task; for example, their starship AIs have no function beyond the piloting and [[Astrogation|navigation]] of their ships.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 200''</ref> So far, only two types of Covenant AIs (security and naval) have ever been encountered by the UNSC. Upon dissecting [[Ascendant Justice's AI|a Covenant AI]] aboard the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'', [[Cortana]] theorized that it may have been based on captured UNSC technology, altered to fit within their theocratic society.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 197''</ref><ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 235''</ref>
 
Due to these apprehentions about the use of AI, the Covenant do not utilise artificial intelligences in the same manner as those of humanity, instead preferring the use of "[[associated intelligence]]s" - circumscribed [[Wikipedia:Expert system|expert systems]] that have are ubiquitously used across Covenant society.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22Cov}} For example, where humanity may have a single Smart AI system acting as a [[ship director]] and controlling all aspects of a starship's operation, the Covenant instead make use of multiple of these smaller and more discrete - though non-sentient{{Ref/Novel|Id=glass|HGla|Chapter=8}} - systems (such as those found in [[actuator plug]]s){{Ref/Site|Id=CFDidact|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-didact-delights|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Didact's Delight|D=18|M=05|Y=2023}} for individual tasks such as [[Astrogation|navigation]] and piloting of [[Covenant starship|spacecraft]],{{Ref/Novel|glass}} operating the intricate systems of an [[energy projector]] and making calculations for [[Slipstream space|slipspace jumps]],{{Ref/Anthology|Id=return|Evo|The Return}} opening doors, operating elevators, and other menial functions.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive32.pl?read=967958|Site=halo.bungie.org|Page=Re: Unnamed Elite Major in The Package|Quote=Example - rather than have a very smart AI run the ship, [the Covenant] will have a dumb one controlling the elevators, another the doors, etc, etc. Otherwise it exists for drama, obviously. Kind of like an exhaust vent on the Death Star.|Quotee=Frank O'Connor|D=31|M=07|Y=2023}} The AI(s) inhabiting a ship may be referred to as the ship's "spirits".{{Ref/Reuse|return}}
 
UNSC salvage operations on downed Covenant ships were frought with danger due to the lingering presence of Covenant associated intelligences. One such security AI was encountered aboard ''[[Supplication of Purity]]'', a {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}} downed by the [[UNSC Navy]] during the [[Battle for Tribute]]. After the war's end, debris from ''Supplication of Purity'' was recovered for analysis and testing by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], with ONI believing they had purge all traces of hostile mechanisms in the vessel. As such, sections of the ship were used in the [[Outpost Discovery]] event with the goal of teaching guests about alien technology and the hazards of [[naval boarding]] actions. However, the dormant AI had not been fully scrubbed, resulting in its awakening and attempts to kill the intruders on its ship. The AI was ultimately stopped by [[Gabriela]], the custodian AI of the event itself, with her describing it as an "autonomous security protocol subroutine".{{Ref/Game|Halo: Outpost Discovery|Covenant Escape}}
 
The Covenant's strictures on AI loosened during the [[Human-Covenant War|war with humanity]]. Although they considered humanity's smart AIs dangerous heresies and abominations, they recognised that this meant humanity did hold a significant advantage in the field of cyberwarfare in the early stages of the war. While the Covenant were initially caught off-guard, they did begin to investigate the use of artificial intelligences to aid in their war effort. This resulted in two major developments; the first was the unvaulting of polymorphic [[Seeker (AI)|seeker-killers]] based on AI constructs discovered and vaulted within the systems of ''[[Anodyne Spirit]]'', the Forerunner [[keyship]] at the heart of [[High Charity]]. The second was a [[Covenant AI copying program|AI copying program]] undertaken by a handful of brazen researchers who wished to capture and reverse-engineer a human smart AI to suit their needs. The program was only semi-successful - successfully enslaving a human AI to the Covenant's cause and religion, but never managing to turn it to serve them fully. As such, the resulting AI, now rampant and spiteful towards its "creators", escaped into the [[proselytization network]] and multiplied itself into innumerable trace patterns.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22Cov}} Traces of this AI were later observed aboard ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' and ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'', with the former being captured and dissected by [[Cortana]] in order to study it.{{Ref/Book|Enc09|Page=225}}{{Ref/Book|Enc11|Page=235}} Cortana later used the AI copying matrix to duplicate her own processes during [[Operation: FIRST STRIKE]], leading to the destruction of ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]''. The same technique was again used in the [[New Phoenix Incident]] in [[2557]] to destroy ''[[Mantle's Approach]]''.{{Ref/Level|H4|Midnight}}
 
After the Covenant's [[Great Schism|collapse]], the emerging factions of the [[Blooding Years]] both began to leverage AI systems to their advantage. For the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]], this was exemplified with the unvaulting of {{Pattern|Upisa'weri|Shrike}} turrets originally developed by the ancient pre-Covenant [[Sangheili]] of [[The Former Age]]. The turrets contained Sangheili-developed "semi-feral" associated intelligences which could not communicate with modern Sangheili, meaning that they had to be carefully monitored and locked down prior to activation due to their inability to understand contemporary [[Identification friend or foe|IFF]] systems and codeword usage.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/shrike-turret|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Shrike Turret|D=30|M=06|Y=2021}}
 
==Banished AIs==
[[File:HINF Iratus.png|thumb|150px|Iratus]]
[[Iratus]] is an artificial intelligence construct created using a [[Jiralhanae]] donor and aligned with the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Site|Id=S2StoryHub|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Infinite|Detail=Season 02 Lone Wolves - Story|D=06|M=05|Y=2022}}


Iratus was created by the [[Lux Voluspa]] company as part of an effort to research artificial intelligence creation utilizing brain donors from species aside from [[human]]ity. This included Jiralhanae donors; a decision considered by researchers "LV038" and "LV106" as something that was "always going to draw some attention eventually."{{Ref/Reuse|S2StoryHub}} The Lux Voluspa facility was ultimately breached by a cyberwarfare attack, with an intrusion package deployed using internally-sourced encryption and displaying a Jiralhanae retrieval signature. The originators of this attack were later indicated to be the Banished, who were able to steal the Iratus [[Riemann matrix|AI matrix]] from the facility.{{Ref/Generic|Id=LuxVoluspa|[[Halo Infinite Lux Voluspa]]}}
The Covenant's limited use and understanding of AIs stems from their beliefs. In Covenant mythology, it was [[Mendicant Bias|a form of self-aware AI]], referred to as an [[associated intelligence]], that led to the demise of the great [[Forerunner]] civilization by defecting to their enemies, the [[Flood]]. As a result, the [[San'Shyuum]] imposed a ban on this sort of technology under the [[capital punishment|penalty of death]].<ref name="ch188"/> While less sophisticated AIs were allowed, machines that could actually "think" were prohibited.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Wages of Sin]]", ''page 293''</ref>


In [[2559]], the Iratus AI was present inside the Banished shipbreaking facilities on [[Camber]]. When [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IV]]s [[Sigrid Eklund]] and [[Hieu Dinh]] were deployed to the facility, they were able to trap Iratus inside of Dinh's [[neural interface]], compromising his armor and cognitive functions. Eklund was ultimately able to commandeer an [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Phantom]] back to the [[Avery J. Johnson Academy of Military Science]] to seek aid from friendly forces.{{Ref/Reuse|S2StoryHub}}

{{Main|Rampancy}}
The term [[rampancy|"rampancy"]] refers to a terminal condition on an AI which may be triggered by a number of means. In rampancy, the AI begins to think that it is superior to its biological creators, and has a longing for godlike power and personality manifestations similar to human insanity.<ref name="CHrampancy">'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 31'' ("''For a Smart AI, self-absorption invariably led to a deep depression caused by a realization that it could never really be human-that even its incredible mind had limits. If the AI was not careful, this melancholy could drag its core logic into a terminal state known as rampancy, in which an AI rebelled against its programmatic constraints-developed delusions of godlike power as well as utter contempt for its more inferior, human makers. When that happened, there was really no option but to terminate the AI before it could do itself and others serious harm.''")</ref>

A number of factors may lead into an AI becoming rampant. The [[Forerunner]] [[ancilla]] [[Mendicant Bias]] was seduced into rampancy by the Flood compound intelligence, the [[Gravemind]].<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe''', ''page 188''</ref> In the end of its effective operational life of about [[seven]] years, a human "smart" AI may attempt to prevent its inevitable demise by a pre-emptive voltage overload. This causes it to enter rampancy, as the AI becomes more and more preoccupied with severing its neural linkages.<ref>'''Dr. Halsey's personal journal''', ''May 3, 2526''</ref> Human "smart" AIs may also become rampant prematurely as a result of increased self-absorption and the resulting existential melancholy.{{Ref/Reuse|CHrampancy}}

With human AIs, rampancy will eventually result in the AI's death — the description given is "as if a human were to think with so much of his brain that he stopped sending impulses to the heart and lungs".<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 268''</ref> This is because as the data reaches a 'critical mass' the neural pathways become 'jammed' with so many pieces of information being queried and analyzed, at expense of tasks such as piloting starships or monitoring computer networks.{{Ref/Reuse|fs195}}
