'''Rampancy''' is a terminal state of being for [[Artificial Intelligence]] constructs, in which the AI "develops delusions of godlike power", as well as utter contempt for its mentally inferior human makers.<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', page 31</ref> When rampancy occurs, there is no way to restore the AI to its previous state and the only alternative is to destroy it before it harms itself and others around it.
