How does the AI determine your score?

[john]

In a game where scores are not available to other players how does the AI detemine the score ratio for purpose of diplomacy?
Does it make an estimate by what it can see, or does it "cheat" and use the real score?
If it makes an estimate what it that based on? Esspecialy for an empire all it has seen from is a ship?

I'm not sure, but I believe that it uses the actual score for the purposes of the score ratio. That is just a guess though, as I have no definitive information.
