'''"Dumb" AIs''' are a form of [[human]] [[artificial intelligence]]. Unlike more advanced [[Smart AI|"smart" AIs]], these AIs are created using "traditional" programming methods rather than [[Cognitive Impression Modeling|scanning human brains]]. Consequently, they are more limited in their cognitive capabilities, being unable to express "real" emotions or learn about subjects outside of their specialized role.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 235''</ref> The term "dumb" is to a degree a misnomer, as they are still incredibly intelligent, typically possessing an equivalent human IQ of 240 in their areas of expertise.<ref>'''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]'''</ref> | |||

Due to their simpler nature, dumb AIs can function and learn as long as they are active and they do not experience the shortened lifespan that is typical of [[smart AI]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia | Due to their simpler nature, dumb AIs can function and learn as long as they are active and they do not experience the shortened lifespan that is typical of [[smart AI]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 76''</ref> The lifespan of a dumb AI is limited only by their own hardware's endurance capabilities. Although they lack the ability to synthesize information like a smart AI does, dumb AIs are far more responsive and adaptable than normal computer systems. They cannot learn anything that is outside of their set limits of dynamic memory processing matrix. They are able to recognize new situations and make pre-programmed decisions to account for unexpected events, but lack the creativity, intuition, and ingenuity of a smart AI.<ref name="enc229">'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 229''</ref> "Micro" AIs such, such as [[Jerrod]], were not nearly as intelligent as a dumb AI, but were significantly more creative.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 148''</ref> | ||
Dumb AIs are generally used for tasks that do not require strong decision-making capabilities. Because of this, dumb AIs are never used by the [[UNSC Navy]] as shipboard AI.<ref>'''[[Halo: Mortal Dictata]]''', ''page 417''</ref> However, dumb AIs are used on [[space station]]s and starships to announce final launch checks or statuses, since these tasks are often considered too "demeaning" to a [[smart AI]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Glasslands]]''', ''page 80''</ref> The {{UNSCShip|Port Stanley}} had a dumb AI used for simple navigational purposes.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 112''</ref> Some individuals use dumb AIs to spy on others, including the smart AI [[Black-Box]] | Dumb AIs are generally used for tasks that do not require strong decision-making capabilities.
