An '''Associated Intelligence''' is the term used by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] to describe [[Artificial Intelligence]]. According to their mythology, it was an Associated Intelligence that betrayed and brought down the [[Forerunner]]s and thus, the Covenant maintained a strict ban on the creation of AI technology under penalty of death.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', pages 189 and 309</ref> The ban was put in place by the [[San 'Shyuum|Prophets]] after learning of the tale of [[032 Mendicant Bias|Mendicant Bias]] - a Forerunner AI that descended into [[Rampancy]], betraying the Forerunners, and allying itself with the [[Flood]] in the misguided belief that its makers were "hindering" the evolution of the galaxy. The Covenant's ban may have stemmed from a desire to prevent such a thing happening again. | An '''Associated Intelligence''' is the term used by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] to describe [[Artificial Intelligence]].
