[UT] So, what is the maximum skill level for NAI, LAI, SAI?

Does the UT automed follow the chip slot rule? It implies an IQ of 12 to get Surgery 13 at TL9 and an IQ of 16 to get Surgery 19 at TL12.

It makes me a little annoyed that applying a rule for augmenting human capabilities to AI in general results in AIs being bright to brilliant across the spectrum when all you really needed was for them to be very good at a specific set of skills. Since using the chip slot rule ends up too narrowly defining AIs I think that it is not a good rule to use for a generic treatment of AIs.
