Would love to have them lurking out there somewhere, or maybe an outbreak in the middle of the bubble as a crazy community goal.

Same reason why narcotics are still prohibited instead of having strict distribution regulations and that has even extended to tobacco in some jurisdictions.
Humans are always afraid of change. This makes even more sense seeing how little has changed in the general structure of conservatism reigning supreme in the world of ED, with the Federation still finding itself split between republicans and liberals and the Empire having further degenerated to archaic social structures.
That tonnage is needed for the accommodation, life support and containment systems required to contain the slaves who remote-control your limpets for you.32t for a limpet controller? wow, what is that monster thing doing?
Makes no sense, because: we shall get robotoc NPC crewman. which means, AI will be there. Second is maybe that this is the reason to "lore" the unbelievable low amount of non existent automation. because lets be honest, my modern car can automate more stuff than my 33rd century ship.
if AI would exist no player woudl be neded to haul cargo, the future would be totally automated. Therefore ban AI to give people a reason to exist and "play the game"

Nope, not gonna happen.
NPC crewmen is considered AI in the real world. If you do not metagame, then the NPC are actually living beings in the ED universe. Your comment makes even more little sense than what you claim OP does.
What OP says is basically true as far as the in game lore goes.
BTW, in game lore doesn't prohibit automation. It prohibits sentient machines. These are very different things and the lack of total automation in game is pure design choice, without attributing it to the lore in any way.

Actually NPC crewman were mentioned a while back but recently confirmed as not coming to multicrew as far as I remember. In the same way that NPC + player wings was mentioned and then dropped, never to be seen. It's another Open play only feature. I'm not sure what FD's game plan is, force those in solo to go open against their preference or to just leave the game altogether so they can turn off solo at a later date.
I'm an open play player by the way.

Artificial intelleinges ist not necessarily "sentient" in that context at all. So any NPC made of a non living entity needs a specific amount of AI to operate his job as engineer, gunner or whatever else there may come.
I researched on the topic of AI in the Elite Universe and found out that AI is pretty much illegal in the galaxy and any studies about AI are shut down by all major factions. AI was proven to be so dangerous that it was prohibited.
my sources:
http://www.drewwagar.com/elitelore/ - Drew Wagar mentions that by the time of ED, AI is strictly controlled
https://youtu.be/O6z5OK8J5pg?t=510 - Michael Brookes talks vaguely about AI in general and why it is banned
Is there any more info on AI that we know of?
It's not AI that's banned, but machine sentience. You can still have smart computers, but they're not allowed to be self-aware.
If it's not "sentient", it's not "AI" in my book.
Just "computing".
NPCs are not "AI".
There is no real "AI" yet. Not even on say .. fruit fly level.
It's not AI that's banned, but machine sentience. You can still have smart computers, but they're not allowed to be self-aware.

Isaac Asimov came up with the 3 Robotic Laws, designed to protect us from the possibility of rogue robots attacking humans, but he was also able to circumvent these Laws (admittedly with some planning, and done in such a way as to prevent the robots in question knowing all the relevant details). All orders pass through the 3 Laws filters, and any that 'break' the laws are ignored.
First Law. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Second Law. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Third Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Yes and if its not brown it's an Ice cube by my definition.
Sry but what we personally define is not what an official definition of a term is. I also can define Russua as USA, because I like to do so. But in fact it's just not. A defined term is a defined term.
....
That makes sense if that is the lore behind "forbidden AI" is those Ai being sentient.
The very definition of AI requires the machine to be sentient Michael.
