Artificial intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is simulated intelligence implanted as a form of computer coding, either used in software or hardware. It is utilized by both the Terrans and Protoss.

Exactly how AIs function are unknown, but they do not generate thought in the same manner as an organic sentient being and as such, cannot be read by a telepath.

Terrans
Terran artificial intelligence is widespread in use and is reasonably sophisticated, at least in software. For all intents and purposes, ATLAS is the first known example of a Terran AI; a "revolutionary" supercomputer developed sometime in the 23rd century. The functions of Terran AIs include navigation, administration and even guiding weapon systems.

Terrans also use automated hardware, but whether they can truely be said to be guided by an AI is dubious. However, they are listed below for clarity's sake.

Hardware

 * Defense Robot
 * Observation Drone
 * Seeker Droid
 * Servo Servant
 * Tower Cannon

Software

 * ATLAS
 * Adjutant
 * Advertising Artificial Intelligence

Protoss
The Protoss are a technologically advanced race, though not a prolific one. As such, much of their military relies on automated robotic war machines. Lesser contructs are also present in the lives of the Khalai. Known contructs include;


 * Colossus
 * Escort
 * Interceptor
 * Nullifier
 * Observer
 * Phase Prism
 * Probe
 * Reaver
 * Sentinel
 * Shuttle
