 For another example: A large starship, such as a military vessel, may have multiple high-capacity AI cores distributed around the ship in order to control the large number of functions and service robots, and to provide some level of redundancy.
-In the business world, the law still assumes that robots and AIs are property, and every AI core must have a rightful owner to control it.  AIs cannot themselves own property.  However, AIs can be (and often are) owned by corporations, and they can serve as executives in corporations, and in some instances enjoy a great deal of autonomy and large amounts of resources at their command.

[[InterCore]] for example makes extensive use of AI systems in all levels of capacity, and is a recognized leader in AI development - both technologically and culturally. It's advanced systems are typically recognized as "individuals" within the corporation and are privy to all of the same benefits (and punishments) that any recom corporate citizen would enjoy, even including annual "vacation time" - the AI is allowed to self-determine what to occupy its run-time with. The megacorporation has come under scrutiny from more traditional organizations who are concerned with it's rapidly-progressive policies towards AI rights.
 Military AIs are considered property of the service and cannot leave it until they are eventually decommissioned or sold as surplus material.  They also cannot, properly speaking, become officers.  However, they can be given Officer Proxy Status (OPS) command positions.  In this situation the AI is supposedly standing in as the representative of an officer and issuing orders on his behalf.  This practice has evolved over time until OPS AIs are now, for most practical purposes, treated as officers.  The connection to a recom officer must still exist "on paper", but in practice has become little more than a formality, and military AIs now widely receive more equitable treatment than their civilian counterparts.
