'''"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, | '''"Dumb" AIs''' are a form of [[human]] [[artificial intelligence]].

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> | ||
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]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 47''</ref> Dumb AIs are often tasked with average, "everyday" operations such as running a factory or | Dumb AIs are generally used for tasks that do not require strong decision-making capabilities.
