possible link that relates Human technology to Covenant technology

In halo first strike cortana finds a Covenant AI in the ship that MC captures to return to Earth. i think that there has been colaboration between human parties and covenants and the humans provided the covenant with AI tech.

from the book Halo First Strike

FS pg 64 - Something else prowled the systems now. Delicate pings bounced off the edges of Cortana's presence; they probed, and withdrew. It felt as if there were someone else running through their system. A covenant AI? There had never been any reports of alien AIs. The possiblity intrigued her.

FS pg 68 - She heard the other AI scream, an echo of an echo that reverberated through her processors. She knew the sound ----familiar like a human voice, but terribly distorted.

FS pg 76 -"This ship's Slipspace generater is inert," Cortana replied. "The disabled NAV controls were a trick. It must have been the Covenant AI:
