Upon dissecting [[Ascendant Justice's AI|a Covenant AI]] aboard the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'', [[Cortana]] theorized that it may have been based on captured UNSC technology, altered to fit within their theocratic society.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 197''</ref><ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe''', ''page 235''</ref> | ||
The Covenant's limited use and understanding of AIs stems from their beliefs. In Covenant mythology, it was [[Mendicant Bias|a form of self-aware AI]], referred to as an [[associated intelligence]], that led to the demise of the great [[Forerunner]] civilization by defecting to their enemies, the [[Flood]]. As a result, the [[San'Shyuum]] imposed a ban on this sort of technology under [[capital punishment|penalty of death]].{{Ref/Reuse|ch188}} While less sophisticated AIs were allowed, machines that could actually "think" were prohibited.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Wages of Sin]]", ''page 293''</ref> | The Covenant's limited use and understanding of AIs stems from their beliefs.
