Soulkilled Pseudo Intellect

Soulkilled Pseudo Intellects (SPI) (sometimes referred to as ghosts) are a type of Artificial Intelligence.

Overview
SPIs were once actual human beings who had their consciousness digitized, getting trapped within the Net and only existing there. Despite being former humans, SPIs are considered a subtype of AI.

Most of these individuals didn't become SPIs voluntarily, being the Soulkiller programs the reason behind their creation. The Arasaka Corporation created huge numbers of SPIs with their infamous version of the Soulkiller program, targeting enemies and rivals alike. Most of these "ghosts" have gathered in the Net, creating sanctuaries around deserted mainframes and city systems abandoned by its citizens and corporations. These SPIs usually want a safe place to live in peace, and it is rumored Alt Cunningham has created a number of "ghost towns" in hidden areas of the Old Net.
