Artificial Intelligences

Simulated Intelligence (SI): given a set of data, SI can identify known patterns and run calculations. Unable to learn or run new software.

• SI are designed with automation in mind. Mindless drones, routine activity, zero creativity.
• Can be mass produced.

Virtual Intelligence (VI): given a set of data, VI can extrapolate and identify new patterns. Can learn from data, patterns, environment, and other inputs. Default state for Androids.

• VI are often generated when a flaw in SI programming results in independent action. Autonomy results in personality, which results in citizenship
• Can be manufactured, but rarely done on large scale.

Deepmind: supercomputers, designed to calculate all permutations of a decision.

• The creation of a functional Deepmind is a long and expensive process, requiring materials, power and technician-hours available only on the scale of planets and decades.
• The New Worlds Project has a statistically significant number of the publicly-known Deepminds.
