Like I said, the reason AIs die is because of information overload, a side effect is rampancy. Connecting them to slipspace theoretically could sove the problem forever.
The reason why I think it's wrong to kill AIs is that soon, they will become sentient,like Cortana.
Cortana is a miracle of science. Why? She's effectively one of the first sentient beings created by mankind. With her, albeit accidentally,humanity created life. Killing her would be destroying one of mankind's greatest acheivments.
She's managed to shed her inhibiters.
The real special thing about her is that she seems to show human emotion.
I'll compare her to Serena. In Halo Wars, Serena did as she was told, maybe throw in a sarcastic joke and even seemed to not care about her human masters.
Cortana, on the other hand, shows real emotion. She of course has her own personality like other AIs,but more so than say, Serena. There's even romantic undertones between her and the Chief. We've seen AI's fight for there masters and have unquestionable loyalty, but not romance. That means she has unchecked emotions, something normal AIs don't have. Meaning she's sentient.
So,if we want to understand what might save AI's from a short lifespan and perhaps grant even greater freedom, the best idea would be to study Cortana.
We know that she's been hooked up to several huge data storage systems several times,we know that she has something to care about, and she's been through forced rampancy.
The trick would be to find someway to replicate those factors.
