She is at least two years old, and the information that she got when she was in Alpha Halo's control room took away some of her life.

Shes a computer program for the pillar of autum and she doesnt age or get old so she doesnt have an age.

The AI's go rampant after 7 years, that's why I was wondering.

On the contrary, A.I.'s do in fact age. Smart A.I.'s, such as Cortana, usually only live for about 7 years. They "die" when they acquire so much information, that it is impossible for them to retain it all. Normally, when they gain new information, they delete old non-essential data. Eventually, they will have gained so much valuable information that they essentially "delete" themselves.

All the information required during the events taken place on Halo has severly diminished Cortana's lifetime.

Strange evolution how people have come to believe
That we are it's greatest achievement
We're barely, we're just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves

Not really, I beleive it was stated that they occupy themselves with so many thought processes that they essentially "think" themsleves to death.

Smart AIs die after 7 years. Rampancy has not been mentioned in the Halo Universe.
