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 | 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.

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 serve as educational assistants.<ref name="enc229"/><ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 55''</ref> Urban Infrastructure AIs, such as [[New Mombasa]]'s [[Superintendent]], were 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.
