+'''Associated intelligence''' is the term used by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] to describe a type of [[artificial intelligence]]. Although the definition is unclear, it appears to refer specifically to two or more AIs linked together and working in synchrony, or actually [[Sentience|sentient]] AIs such as human [[Smart artificial intelligence|smart AIs]].
