The technological golden age granted to humanity by the traveller allowed them to develop the technologies required to create the warminds and the exos. So, while the traveller likely gave humanity a portion of the tech/knowlage involved in the creation of AIs, it did not create them directly.

Although, the theory of the warminds creating the exos is plasuable, as one of the quests with the gunsmith states that the warminds had enough athority to commission the mass production of a few basic weapons to arm the bulk of the population when other measures failed.
