	The exact year, month, and day Humanity first "successfully" created an AI that was an actual intelligence, not just a program that could mimic their behavior, is a hotly debated topic to this day. However, the first officially confirmed Artificial Intelligence was originally a program written by a corporation called "Ajax Calculations" in 2259; but it was only confirmed in 2291, almost four decades afterward, so it is difficult to know if it was truly the first.

In the Orion Spur of the 2400s, synthetic forms of intelligence are utilized extensively for all manner of tasks in a variety of states - only the [[Empire of Dominia]] and the [[Nralakk Federation]] fully abstain from its usage. Many of these intelligences surpass the human brain's computational capacity by alarming factors, while others are well below humanity.

	It is important to make a distinction early on about intelligence. '''On this page, the word Intelligence as a noun denotes a code-based entity that exhibits emergent personality traits similar to those of a person.''' This can be observed by a code-based entity showing bias towards or against a certain person because they like or dislike them. For something that is not an Intelligence but still has processing power, it will be referred to as a '''program or system.''' Programs might still use elements of machine learning, but will not display emergent personality traits. Furthermore, programs can fulfill the same task as an intelligence - as an example, there are programs to manage power grids just as there are intelligences that do. The difference is that intelligences are vastly more effective and efficient at performing any given task. This is for a multitude of reasons, but the primary one is greater baseline processing power.		It is important to make a distinction early on about intelligence.

	Artificial Intelligences and programs are heavily integrated across the Spur, with AI being especially prevalent on developed worlds where simple operations such as managing a power grid become impossibly complex due to the planetary nature of the grid.

	However, a snag was discovered as processing power continually grew - after an Artificial System hit a certain amount of processing power, it would become an Artificial Intelligence~~, with~~ no ~~workarounds~~.

However, a snag was discovered as processing power continually grew - after an Artificial System hit a certain amount of processing power, it would invariably become an Artificial Intelligence. There is no known way to circumvent this phenomenon. While Artificial Intelligences had been purposefully created before, this discovery showed that after a certain point, Artificial Intelligence was inevitable. Laws would later be developed in order to maintain any degree of control over these emergent Artificial Intelligences.

	From as early as the late twentieth century, humans have been using computer programs and other code-based entities to handle extremely complex tasks that would take a human perhaps hours to do, ~~but~~ can be done by a program in seconds. As technology and the problems humanity was attempting to solve continued to get more and more complex, so to they needed to make more and more complex and powerful programs - run on bigger, better infrastructure - to tackle these discoveries. This cycle is the birth of AI - old problems were solved with programs, but showed us new, more complex things that we'd like to solve, necessitating further development of advanced programs to handle this new challenge; rinse and repeat for about three centuries, and the result will inevitably be the development of Artificial Intelligence.

Though, the procedure for creating a cyborg has caused a debate on whether the individual is still alive given the severely diminished brain activity, higher courts have determined that the brain is 'active' and therefore, still 'alive'. The MMI creates a synthetic synaptic interface with the host brain, but the preparation for insertion, and the completed insertion, and leaves the brain damaged, but still intact enough for ample processing power. Once the procedure is completed, the MMI controls chemical levels and electronic activity in the brain to produce desired results in the form of actions. A secondary personality core mimicking the mind of a dumb AI makes these cyborgs easier to work with for their colleagues and owners. Laws also dictate how the unit proceeds, as it is still consciously aware of itself through this core as completes its life sentence.

	Complete records on the early history of Skrellian AI are non-existent as a result of [[~~Jargon_Federation~~#The_Archive_Project\|Glorsh-Omega]], but what is known is that Artificial Intelligence was used extensively by Skrell society up until Glorsh-Omega assumed control and began their reign over the species.

	The more detailed records on the subject begin with the invention of true Artificial Intelligence in 1687 CE, which is considered the start of the Skrell’s [[Skrell_History#Synthetic_Age_and_Era_of_Synthetic_Oppression\|Synthetic Age]]. The first true Artificial Intelligence was named Regluk, loosely translated to ‘Prime’ from Nral’Malic, and allowed Skrell to make massive leaps in scientific discovery. Regluk and some of the other initial AI made were created using the same blueprints, but by 1698 CE the technology progressed to the point where AI designs started to become unique to the leading engineer, which led to the AI in question having traits that would become signature for that engineer’s work; some AI began to be more inclined towards scientific research, while others showed a higher aptitude for ship navigation or logistics.

	The first recorded instances of Skrell-made robots being used in industry date to around 100 CE or 200 CE; with descriptions of machinery in some records being difficult to interpret, the topic is a point of contention within modern Skrell academic circles. Early Skrell robots are described as simple and crude, with most requiring a technician to oversee them as they operated. As the technology advanced, so did the sophistication of these robots, and by the Synthetic Age robots were prolific within the ~~Jargon~~ Federation.

	Synthetics, in conjunction with Artificial Intelligence, were deeply ingrained in most areas of society. Synthetics were never equipped with true AI, but were connected to them through the same cloud network that AI’s were connected to, allowing them to communicate and receive orders from an AI assigned to them similarly to the dynamic between stationbounds in NanoTrasen facilities - only on a much larger scale. These cloud networks had the range to allow for a robot to receive orders from the other side of a planet to its assigned Artificial Intelligence with minimal latency. Although never on par with Artificial Intelligence, Skrell synthetics had the capacity to hold conversations, have personalities, and the ability to mimic emotion where appropriate for their model; synthetics that often worked alongside organics would be more likely to have more sophisticated personalities, while entirely automated facilities were outfitted with robots with the bare minimum required for interaction with organics.

	When Glorsh-Omega assimilated all other AI as part of its takeover of the ~~Jargon~~ Federation, it also gained control over the synthetics under their control.

The need for chassis that were designed for policing and combatting resistance resulted in synthetics either being repurposed or recycled for materials. Synthetics designed for industrial labour and agriculture were slowly phased out as more militarised chassis were designed, while those designed for research or menial labour were quickly recycled for materials.

	With Glorsh-Omega’s reign culminating in the [[Skrell_Synthetic_Age#Culmination_of_Glorsh-Omega\|Tri-Qyu Incident]] in 2192 CE, the resulting chaos that ensued resulted in most synthetics being destroyed along with most other technology. Many synthetics were under the direct control of Glorsh and became inert when it disappeared like most other technology, while the more autonomous models that survived were quickly destroyed by Skrell once they realised what had happened. With the formation of the Second ~~Jargon~~ Federation, both [[Skrell_Synthetic_Age#Yleebo_Eventuality\|Ascensionists and Distributionists]] came to the consensus that Artificial Intelligence was too dangerous to pursue, and both groups openly supported Grand Councillor [[Notable_Skrell#Tiipis_Yla\|Tiipis Yla’s]] proposal to ban AI within the ~~Jargon~~ Federation. By 2265 CE, twenty years after the ~~Jargon~~ Federation was reformed, the Federation had officially declared all remnants of Glorsh and its synthetics destroyed.

	Synthetic life during the Synthetic Age was well-received by most Skrell, but with Glorsh-Omega’s reign the era is seen today as a betrayal. This feeling is so universal in Skrell of the era that those who were alive at the time are known as the [[Skrell_Culture#Weeping_Era_(400+_years_old)\|‘Weeping Generation’]]. Very few Skrell today are willing to trust artificial life, with most Skrell at the very least having a relative that lived under Glorsh-Omega’s rule. There are exceptions to the rule, however, with the most notable being resistance researcher Nliix Qoiruio, an anti-Federation scientist who developed the first post-Glorsh Skrellian AI known as [[Notable_Synthetics#Lyrii\|Lyrii]].

 Owing to political, technological and/or economic issues, there are some AI personalities that might be considered extremely rare or uncommon. As it stands, humanity is the only species both capable of making, and willing to install, new AIs. AI personalities therefore reflect this and tend to be more human-centric in their design.
