If you remember Cortana is left under the grip of Gravemind. Gravemind has already succeeded in the hard part, physical control of an AI.
If Gravemind can physically control an artificial intelligence, it can most likely communicate with it, and like the infectious Flood forms, it can control their victims mind.
This would create a “Master Chief” situation. Gravemind would be the combination of organic tissue, and an AI. Much like Master Chief was with Cortana. It doesn’t have to be purely organic to harness the power of an AI. Again, refer to Master Chief
Evidence? And Pentiant Tangent doesn't count. Gravemind caught him, but we have no idea how. He could have been captured by the Flood and brought to Gravemind; we have no idea. However, we have no evidence that Gravemind is controlling PT. PT, like Guilty, is probably insane, the result of 100,000 years in service. Where GS is just plain batty, PT may simply have selective perception; he literally does not know that Gravemind is there.
