'''"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 incapable of the capacity to feel, perceive, or experience subjectively, and cannot learn 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; [[Déjà]], for example, possessed an equivalent human IQ of 240 in her 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 such as [[navigation computer]]s. 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. Additionally, they cannot learn anything that is outside of their set limits of dynamic memory processing matrix.<ref name="enc229">'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 229''</ref> [["Micro" AI]]s, such as [[Jerrod]], are not nearly as intelligent as a dumb AI, but are significantly more creative.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 148''</ref> Despite their lack of "true" sapience, many "dumb" AIs are programmed with unique personalities and characteristics sometimes bordering on theatrical, as with [[Captain Teach]] or [[Wellsley]],<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', Chapter 2, ''page 48'' (2003 paperback); ''page 54'' (2010 paperback)</ref> while others, such as [[Auntie Dot]], are more neutral and machine-like in their mannerisms.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]'''</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]], who could deploy "dumb" subprocesses of himself into different systems.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 47''</ref> Dumb AIs are often tasked with average, "everyday" operations such as running a factory or serving as educational assistants.{{Ref/Reuse|enc229}}<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 55''</ref> Urban Infrastructure AIs, such as [[New Mombasa]]'s [[Superintendent]], are a variant of dumb AIs designed to perform a wide variety of basic tasks, from steering a city's [[Olifant|garbage trucks]] to operating its traffic lights.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''', ''[[Sadie's Story]]''</ref> | Dumb AIs are generally used for tasks that do not require strong decision-making capabilities.
