"Ah. Of course." Confirmation that he was correct in his observation. He expected as much, but it would be foolish to assume himself to be right.
"Artificial Intelligence. Synthetics. Machines." It's a difficult concept to explain to those unfamiliar, but he will do his best. "AI are not made up of flesh and bone like you and I. They are made up of circuitry, metal, fueled with electricity as opposed to blood. They're man made to mimic cognitive functions...learning, problem solving, communication, minus the emotion often associated with the decision making of an organic mind. Many fear AI where I come from because of situations such as this...because of AI like the Head. Some are made for nefarious purposes and carry out their duties without question, while others rebel from their creators."
He pauses in his explanation thoughtfully, tilting his head a fraction to indicate the whirring of gears as he figures out how to word his next thought.
"It is a complicated manner to which a simple explanation can't do justice. I have met several AI who display the thoughts and desires they weren't programmed to have. They sometimes question their purpose...why they were built...if they have a soul. Sometimes they seek to learn like the rest of us. There are a couple I have met that I would trust with my life."
Just in case his rather cold description of what an AI is was a turn off. He would be remiss if he didn't explain that they weren't all heartless machines that would and could kill you without a second thought.
