[[Prehistoric human civilization|Ancient humans]] were also known to have created advanced AI called servitors. They were described by the [[Librarian]] as being "[like] a version of our [[ancilla]]s".

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> | 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.

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 [[capital punishment|penalty of death]].{{Ref/Reuse|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> | The Covenant's limited use and understanding of AIs stems from their beliefs.

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.

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}} | In [[2559]], the Iratus AI was present inside the Banished shipbreaking facilities on [[Camber]].
