Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is a term that refers to any system that can synthesize a form of intelligence. This can either be fairly basic, such as Amitjyoti Ferrier's MINNY, up to what are called Obsidian-class AIs, such as ODIN and his brothers and sisters "birthed" by the Venturis Corporation.

It is known that Obsidian-class AIs are mostly if not fully organic, with their consciousness synthesized in a brain-like organism enclosed in a module, known as their wetware. Whether this is exclusive to Obsidian-class AI however is unknown, if it is than it is a major distinction between them and more basic AIs.

It is revealed on the Venturer Puzz that there are 64 Obsidian-class AIs confirmed to be in operation, found on government, military, and commercial facilities.
