In the game

Machine Intelligences are immense artificial group minds that have been networked into a single gestalt consciousness. Most of the actual "population" in such an empire consists of mindless work units who perform their designated tasks without any semblance of free will. A small number of semi-autonomous agents are typically employed for more specialized tasks that benefit from some degree of independent initiative.
