Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is a field concerned with making algorithms that, within set parameters, is able emulate the decision making processes found in sentient beings. For a quick guide to determine how 'aware' an AI is, take the unscaled intelligence score of the AI.


 * Below Fair: Simplistic, able to perform a narrow task. Very likely that one could have been programmed via conventional methods just as effectively, if not more so.
 * Fair:
 * Good:
 * Great:
 * Superb: Highly flexible, often serving in wide-ranging functions. General ship-AIs tend to fall in this category.
 * Legendary: Fully sentient. - Not only does this take expert programming over a period of years, but it also takes a great amount of storage space and an undefined 'x factor' to spur the AI into sentience. What this is for an AI differs, but AIs that achieve this stage are very rare.
