Introduction (and why I like this setting)

[DSPE]

In Endless Sky (a video game), this is justified for humans, because apparently the Republic has banned advanced AI. Though one guy does technically turn himself digital, against the Law. Does that count as "artificial intelligence"?

However, I wonder why more advanced races (like the Quarg, who are apparently peaceful, or the Wanderers) do not use AI for most aspects of their society...
