 Quite - but implementations of true AI are limited to research stations and university planets. This limitation is the result of several different events and trends in the past of the VS universe.

-Ever since the first moderately succesful forays into AI were made by [[Terminology:Humanity|Humanity]] centuries ago, there has been some overarching distrust of true artificials, especially since many of the early models proved to have dangerously high risk of sanity loss.
+Ever since the first moderately successful forays into AI were made by [[Terminology:Humanity|Humanity]] centuries ago, there has been some overarching distrust of true artificials, especially since many of the early models proved to have dangerously high risk of sanity loss.
 Research beyond this point has thus been, not only difficult due to the nature of the research, but heavily hampered by regulatory restrictions.
-The [[Terminology:Rlaan|Rlaan]] appear to have never had much interest in building thinking machines, and the [[Terminology:Aera|Area]] are hostile to the concept of introducing a new entity which may at any point come to oppose them. Therefore, we will limit the rest of the discussion to [[Terminology:Humanity|Humanity]]. A discussion of whether the [[Terminology:Ancients|Ancients]] or [[Terminology:Those Who Have Only Names|TWHON (Those Who Have Only Names)]] used true AI would be tangential.

-Even in those societies where the use of SuSims was seen as inhumane or otherwise frowned upon, as with many technologies, the Nano-plague disrupted AI research. Having to switch from cheap, efficient nanite vats to slow and, particularly for such a complicated process, ponderously expensive nano-forges to produce AI "Brains" did as much as anything to discourage AI research.

 Thus, the true AIs are few and remain, especially to themselves, objects primarily of research interest.

-However, the much more stunting trends for AI were, from AI research itself, auto-generated expert systems, and from the fields of genetics and cybernetics, '''SuSims''' (''Super Simians'') and '''SuSim Cyborgs''' (SuSimCy). For those tasks which [[Terminology:Humanity|Humanity]] had no interest in doing itself, [[Terminology:Humanity|Humanity]] had already developed viable alternatives that it knew it had a great measure of control over. For dry computational tasks and rule interpretation, the expert systems' lack of self-awareness was a blessing rather than a burden. For physically manifested tasks considered too menial, too dangerous, or too monotonous, the SuSims and SuSimCys proved cheaper, more reliable, and, through advancements in genetics, easy to dominate. Only for those applications where it was difficult to keep the organic components of the cyborg alive were robots necessary, and for only for a few of those applications did it make sense for the robots to be independent operators, and for only a fraction of those did the independent operators need intelectual capacity.
