Instead of simply "programming" a smart AI, their matrix is created by sending electric bursts through the neural pathways of a [[human]] brain which are then replicated in a superconducting nano-assemblage in a process known as [[Cognitive Impression Modeling]]. This process destroys the original brain tissue, and so the brain being used is typically obtained after the host is dead. In the case of the AI Cortana, however, the candidate brain was flash-cloned and the host's memories transferred, so that the host, in this case Dr. Catherine Halsey, could remain alive. However, this is extremely inefficient: out of twenty of Dr. Halsey's cloned brains, only two of them took. | Instead of simply "programming" a smart AI, their matrix is created by sending electric bursts through the neural pathways of a [[human]] brain which are then replicated in a superconducting nano-assemblage in a process known as [[Cognitive Impression Modeling]].

The human neural patterns are used merely to "seed" the initial AI matrix; over time, the AI develops its own system of more efficient neural linkages. This can be considered one of the drawbacks of smart AI creation; initiation time is wasted for the AI by creating the first neural linkages.<ref name="journal">'''Dr. Halsey's personal journal''', ''May 3, 2526''</ref> It is technically unclear exactly how a "smart" AI works, as it is only based on the functionality of a human brain, which even UNSC scientists do not fully understand. | The human neural patterns are used merely to "seed" the initial AI matrix; over time, the AI develops its own system of more efficient neural linkages.
