Digi-Sylphs
From NSwiki, the NationStates encyclopedia.
Introduction
Friendly Aliens has always frowned apon the development of AI systems which are potentially large enough to cause a threat if they became "enlightened". Even in the Ancient culture of Friendly Aliens and the Alpha Empire they never used "Smart-AI" because of the great "Metal Scourge" which actually plagued the beginning of the Alpha Empire during its infancy. The development of contained "Dumb-AI" like for example in computer games and weapons however has always been thought of as very useful.
Friendly Aliens wished to create a system which took advantage of the capabilities of an Artifical Intelligence but without the risk.
This produced the idea of the Digi-Sylphs.
