EDI, which stands for Enhanced Defence Intelligence, is the Artificial Intelligence that was installed in the Normandy SR-2. At first Joker is skeptical of "her", expressing that he can fly the ship on his own. By the end of the game Joker begins to have a sort of maternalistic relationship with EDI. When the Collectors attacked the Normandy SR-2, she was given full control of the ships defenses and saved Joker.
