Virtual Intelligence

== Description ==
Virtual Intelligence is software and clever programming designed to be fairly useful within a set range of tasks. Alexa, SIRI, The Netflix and YouTube algorithms, and the main computer on the Enterprise-D, are examples of this. Any program that can adapt, based on user interaction. VI has no mind, no self-awareness. Everything is programmed in and does not change without programming. A VI can learn, but a VI is limited by it’s programming. VI must be reprogrammed for tasks not in the original programming. Names may or may not be given. Few VI have holographic avatars. VI cannot be upgraded to AI..
== Uses ==
=== Civilian ===
Civilian VI is found almost everywhere in a sufficiently advanced society. In the Solarian Empire, all groundcars and aircars are controlled by VI that guide the vehicle to its destination. VI are found in the home and even carried around by others. VI programming is user friendly and people have been known to easily alter the purpose of the VI. More powerful, advanced versions tend to be found in corporate office buildings.
=== Military ===
Military VI are vastly more powerful than their civilian counterparts. Military VI tend to handle powerflow on ships, as well as reloading missiles and kinetic rounds. VI tend to be found in drones for security or disposable purposes.
