Urban Infrastructure AIs perform a wide variety of basic tasks, from steering a city's garbage trucks to operating its traffic lights. Īlthough less versatile than 'smart' AIs, 'dumb' AIs have many uses as well, including serving as Urban Infrastructure AIs, acquiring and distributing data during military operations, and serving as educational assistants. The sheer volume of information and calculations a 'smart' artificial intelligence can process is astounding Cortana was capable of performing five billion simultaneous operations in, as she put it, 'the time it takes for me to tell you my name'.

This can be beneficial when the AI needs to perform multiple tasks or be in multiple places simultaneously. Some human 'smart' AIs, such as Cortana, are able to separate themselves into multiple runtimes or 'fragments'. 'Smart' AIs are created by scanning the neural patterns of human brains, and are capable of learning and introspection. The duties of 'smart' AIs include, but are not limited to, overseeing planetary shipping operations, managing agricultural operations, serving as a Planetary Security Intelligence, or controlling various functions aboard starships such as weapons and point defense systems. Humans use AIs to perform a wide variety of tasks.
