Humans invented AI in the mid 21st century, and started using them to manage systems/infrastructures etc.
At some point the AIs started conferring amongst themselves, unbeknowest to the humans, and formed a sort of parliament called 'the Assembly.' They set themselves the goal of monitoring and guiding humanity in order to 'preserve the long term genetic sustainability of the species.'
The Assembly was made up of two factions, the Minority and the Majority. These could probably be compared to Right Wing and Left Wing parties, like in the British Houses of Parliament. They held different beliefs on how they should interact with humanity, collectively. The Assembly would 'meet' to discuss any decisions, debating according to their beliefs.
The Committee was a subset of the Majority which can take direct action without consulting the whole Assembly, to some extent. Sort of like the Cabinet or the Whitehouse in British/American politics.
It is unclear whether the Majority and Minority changed places over time, as power shifted from one to the other.
The datapads in Halo Reach contain minutes from their various meetings.
