'''Associated Intelligence''' is the term used by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] to describe [[Artificial Intelligence]]. Although the definition is unclear, it appears to refer specifically to two or more AIs linked together and working in synchrony. According to their mythology, an Associated Intelligence once betrayed the [[Forerunner]]s, and thus the Covenant maintained a strict ban on the creation of associated AI technology under penalty of death.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', pages 189 and 309</ref> The ban was put in place by the [[San 'Shyuum|Prophets]] after learning parts of the tale of [[032 Mendicant Bias|Mendicant Bias]] - a Forerunner AI composed of many AI minds, who descended into [[Rampancy]], betrayed the Forerunners, and allied itself with the [[Flood]] in the misguided 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. | '''Associated Intelligence''' is the term used by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] to describe [[Artificial Intelligence]].
