An '''Avatar''' is the physical representation of an [[Artificial Intelligence]] or AI, used as a way to better interact with [[Humans]].


While not used by all AIs, every "smart" AI uses an avatar as do many "dumb" AIs. This physical representation is chosen by the AI upon their creation and can be whatever they desire it to be, although the duty which the A.I. is to perform, combined with the Human brain that was used to create it, (like [[Melissa]]) have a great deal to do with what avatar they chose to appear as.

Déjà's avatar projected in human-size form.

"An avatar is for the benefit of humans. Not for the AI. Well in my case, anyway. Some of my kind have issues about identity."
Black-Box[1]

An avatar is the visual representation of an artificial intelligence or AI, used as a way to better interact with humans.[2]

Description[edit]

Three AIs modeled after the mythological Moirai (Fates).

While not used by all AIs, every "smart" AI uses an avatar,[3] as do many "dumb" AIs. This visual representation is chosen by the AI upon their creation and can be whatever they desire it to be. The creation of an AI's avatar occurs very early in the system's birthing process, and unless an AI is programmed to have multiple avatars, it does not usually alter its appearance after its initial creation.[4] Smart AIs find it extremely difficult to substantially alter their original avatar,[3] and attempts to do so have resulted in catastrophic AI system crashes.[4] The reason for this is not well understood to scientists, and attempts to eliminate this behavior have resulted in AI failures and personality aberrations.[3]

The duty which the AI is to perform, combined with the human brain that was used to create it, have a great deal to do with what avatar they chose to appear as.[5][2] The avatar is created by the AI to represent itself and appear to be drawn from the emotive responses at the base of human behavior. Most AIs represent themselves as male or female humans in various forms of costume, though some AIs do take on more abstract forms; some avatars are simple geometric objects or silhouettes with perhaps a handful of key human features, such as a mouth or pair of eyes.[3] Without exception, AI systems identify themselves as male or female based on the gender of their brain donor.[4] In addition to their visual representation, AIs are also able to choose their preferred accent or style of speech.[2]

Avatars may choose to present themselves as human-sized wherever sufficient projection equipment is available.[6][7][8] With more limited projection systems such as a starship's holo-pedestal, they appear considerably smaller.[9][10]

List of AIs with known avatars[edit]

Unidentified AIs[edit]

There were also at least three AIs at the Damascus Testing Facility on Chi Ceti IV that were have not been specifically identified, with the avatars of a samurai, a mermaid, and a figure made entirely of bright light with comets trailing in her wake.[40] In addition, there were two unidentified AIs on the UNSC Point of No Return, one of which was a wraith-like gray-robed figure without a body, and the other a collection of disembodied eyes, mouths, and gesturing hands, noted by Kurt-051 as resembling cubist art.[41]
