The hidden data pads you find throughout the Reach campaign seem to vaguely give insight into what we can expect for the backstory of Halo 4. Here’s a link for the data pad transcripts. Scroll down on this page until you see the tap called “Data pad transcripts” and click it open to see what the data pads say.
Keep in mind that bungie put those data pads if I’m not mistaken and bungie isn’t making halo 4 so I doubt that they are connections to halo 4
I think we’ll definitely see some connections. 343 aren’t going to ignore something like that, something that shows the AIs in the assembly will make their presence known soon.

Yes but 343 was working on Halo 4 while Reach was being created so there could have been some amount of collaboration. Moreover, why would Bungie create such a vague yet intricate story obviously invloving interaction between an unknown Human assembly and its “creators”. The data pads use coded symbols and confusing dialogue that noone has discovered to meaning to. But it is apparent that there is something we have yet to discover. Every reference in the data pads to “creators” likely refers to the Forerunners. But what this Assembly is we do not know. They could be A.I.'s, and they might be created by surviving Forerunners to aid the Humans. I just really want to know what Bungie has led us to and what it means or could mean in the future.

The creators were human. They point that out numerous times. The Assembly is made up of human AI.
