Why are there no robots or AI in the Dune Universe?
Even calculators and basic computers are banned. It's the reason why they had Mentats and guild Navigators: specialists to do the jobs computers would do in other Sci-Fi.
It's because of the Butlerian Jihad, which was basically a Spanish inquisition against machines deep in the pre-history of the Dune universe. It ended up producing the Orange Catholic Bible and the great house system.
