The process of creating an AI is different to what most people realize. Instead of simply "programming" a [["Smart" AI]], the AI matrix is actually created by sending electric bursts through the neural pathways of a [[human]] brain which are then replicated in a superconducting nano-assemblage in a process known as [[Cognitive Impression Modeling]]. This destroys the original brain tissue however, and so the brain being used could only be obtained after the host had died. However, in some instances, as in the case of the AI [[Cortana]], the candidate brain was flash-cloned and had its memories transferred to the receptacle organs so that the host, in this case [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]], could remain alive. However, this is extremely inefficient. In the case of Cortana out of twenty of Dr Halsey's cloned brains, only two of them took.
The process of creating an AI differs depending on whether it is of the "Smart" or "Dumb" variety. "Dumb" AIs are simply highly advanced computer programs, and therefore do not require a brain as a template. "Smart" AIs, however, are created by scanning the neural structure of a human brain and using it as a digital "framework".

It should be noted that Dr. Halsey supervised the creation of the template for every third-generation "Smart" AI on the planet [[Reach]]. She has extensive knowledge on how AIs work.
