'''Associated intelligence''' is the term used by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] to describe a type of [[artificial intelligence]].<ref name="ch309">'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 309''</ref> Specifically, it has been defined as a system where enough "intelligent circuits" are linked together to form a high-order AI the Covenant refer to as a "thinking machine",<ref name="ch188">'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''pages 188-189''</ref> similar to humanity's [[smart AI]]s.<ref name="ch309"/> | '''Associated intelligence''' is the term used by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] to describe a type of [[artificial intelligence]].<ref name="ch309">'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 309''</ref> Specifically, it has been defined as a system where enough "intelligent circuits" are linked together to form a high-order AI the Covenant refer to as a "thinking machine",<ref name="ch188">'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''pages 188-189''</ref> similar to humanity's [[smart AI]]s.<ref name="ch309"/> | ||
According to their mythology, an associated intelligence once betrayed the [[Forerunner]]s, and thus the Covenant maintained a strict ban on "intelligence association" under [[Death penalty|penalty of death]].<ref name="ch188"/> The ban was put in place by the [[San 'Shyuum|Prophets]] after learning parts of the tale of [[Mendicant Bias]] - a Forerunner AI composed of many AI minds, who was persuaded into [[rampancy]] by the [[Gravemind]], betrayed the Forerunners, and allied itself with the [[Flood]] in the belief that its makers were "hindering" the evolution of the galaxy. The Covenant's ban may have stemmed from a desire to prevent such a thing happening again. | According to their mythology, an associated intelligence once betrayed the [[Forerunner]]s, and thus the Covenant maintained a strict ban on "intelligence association" under [[Death penalty|penalty of death]].<ref name="ch188"/> The ban was put in place by the [[San'Shyuum|Prophets]] after learning parts of the tale of [[Mendicant Bias]] - a Forerunner AI composed of many AI minds, who was persuaded into [[rampancy]] by the [[Gravemind]], betrayed the Forerunners, and allied itself with the [[Flood]] in the belief that its makers were "hindering" the evolution of the galaxy.

Despite their ban on associated intelligences, the Covenant were known to use less sophisticated, non-[[sentience|sentient]] AI constructs to perform certain designated tasks such as piloting their ships.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''', ''[[Terminal/Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|Terminal 3]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 200''</ref> | Despite their ban on associated intelligences, the Covenant were known to use less sophisticated, non-[[sentience|sentient]] AI constructs to perform certain designated tasks such as piloting their ships.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''', ''[[Terminal/Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|Terminal 3]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 200''</ref> |
