What Positronic AI unlocks
Everything in the game files that lists this technology as a prerequisite; “condition” marks objects that check for it in their conditions instead.
How to get Positronic AI
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 45) and its weight modifiers. Tier 4 opens after 6 tier 3 technologies of the same area.

}Positronic AI: questions
How do I get Positronic AI in Stellaris?
Research Self-Evolving Logic first (3 technologies in the whole chain); then Positronic AI can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).
What does Positronic AI do?
It gives +5% All Technology Research Speed and +5% Upkeep for Researchers. It unlocks Sapient AI Assistant (trait). It leads to Artificial Administration and Sapient Combat Simulations.
What is the ID of Positronic AI?
The technology's ID is tech_sapient_ai. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_sapient_ai (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Positronic AI cost?
8,000 physics research before modifiers. In game the cost grows with empire size (+0.2% per point above the base, common/defines) and the galaxy's tech cost setting.
