Despite being based upon third-generation "smart" AI architecture (which was already succeeded by two newer generations at the time of her creation),{{Ref/Reuse|ReachLE}} Cortana is an extremely advanced AI, described once as "a generational leap" in AI technology. Her software is designed to infiltrate computer systems, and she is excellent at the task - as of [[2552]], she had never encountered a Covenant security measure that she was not able to bypass. In addition, she is proficient with UNSC military hardware and can run both warships and stations entirely by herself. The UNSC's primary use of AIs in combat is to oversee targeting of point-defense weaponry used in space battles, but for Cortana, this is merely an additional capability. Much more efficient than a human crew, she can greatly boost the [[Space warfare|combat]] capability of a vessel; while operating {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, she was able to defeat four {{ | Despite being based upon third-generation "smart" AI architecture (which was already succeeded by two newer generations at the time of her creation),{{Ref/Reuse|ReachLE}} Cortana is an extremely advanced AI, described once as "a generational leap" in AI technology.

Cortana can be transferred among various computer systems, either through a data crystal chip or simply through close physical proximity to a computer system (though it appears that the method of transfer depends on the sophistication of available technology). | Cortana can be transferred among various computer systems, either through a data crystal chip or simply through close physical proximity to a computer system (though it appears that the method of transfer depends on the sophistication of available technology). | ||
