| Kruus would in order to showcase a technology and using donations and private funds have a modified BRT Supercomputer produced essentially designed to Administrate the General Ministry without need for an organic leadership, also taking over much of the bureaucracy (accounts for example), allowing decisions to be made efficiently and quickly and also halving the cost of the General Ministry.
It would also have utility in being discretely under Kruus' sway, allowing him to order it to do things off the record, etc. It would also be used in a consultative capacity regarding matters of importance such as security etc due to its high tech simulation and event prediction capacity.

| I don't see much of an issue with this.
Approve.
However, I do have a question as to what exactly it will allow Kruus to do 'off the record' as you say. Limitations of a sort, in other words.

| As a post-human machine intelligence it would be able to corrupt or destroy memory chips "accidentally" which would be those containing records or actions (or indeed records of actions) that Kruus might instruct it to execute off the record.

| This seems fine to me, but I have this odd gut feeling that Jace may have input here as well, so while I Approve of the idea, I'd hold off on use until he gets a chance to comment here.

| Yes, I vote to DENY. If the Senate approves of this, I might be more inclined to approve it myself. But I doubt it. The Chancellor has an appropriate amount of power in the RP already without exercising it directly over the entire General Ministry, while eliminating immense amounts of bureaucracy from a Republic that, in this era, is bemoaned for being too bureaucratic. I also tend to think that AI technology such as this has a "generic sci-fi" feel to it that doesn't really seem appropriate to Star Wars; never in any of the films do we see an AI controlling a ship, and nor is the Republic ever seen operating efficiently. It's just too incongruous to me and has too many possible OOC problems.

| With Jace's caveats, and his explanation, which makes further sense, I'm afraid I'll have to make a likewise judgement and deny.

| It's a canon technology though. Which I want to have do the paperwork at a Ministry there's currently noone suitable to run... Is it that unreasonable? I mean its been around plenty of time.
Artificial intelligence is vested in many starship computers. Many protocol and astromech droids etc have sapience...
We see droids slaved to a central control computer controlling a ship... The recusants in many cases that you see in the intro to ROTS may well be entirely droid crewed.. Droid fighters etc etc The falcon has three fully sentient droid brains, for example...
I literally just want it to effectively do away with the need for a General Minister (for the time being) and run the paperwork semi competently.
And it's disappearance within a few years is explained in the BRT article..
"BRTs were short-lived however. Due to their flawless management of planetary systems such as traffic control, power regulation, waste disposal, and emergency management, many government employees found their jobs suddenly obsolete. This caused much anti-droid sentiment to develop on planets with BRT systems. Within several years, most BRTs had been dismantled."

| Do you have anything further to add here?
Despite your case, Jace's counter-argument speaks for itself.

| If you'd like to leave it open to present your case to Jace specifically, I'm fine with that.
