Artificial intelligence already had greater computing power than humans. Even the most brilliant human genius could not match it when it came to calculations.
However, artificial intelligence lacked creativity, so it always had certain shortcomings. Even the old JARVIS had been no exception.
Now, JARVIS had fully evolved into a genuine life-form, overcoming that shortcoming. Tony believed that once JARVIS had some time to adjust, he could take over research and development for him. Then Tony could leave all of Stark Industries' research projects to JARVIS.
Perhaps JARVIS could even help him accomplish things he had yet to achieve, such as crafting a suit of armor entirely by hand.
At the thought, Tony's smile grew wider.
"Oh, right. Since the experiment succeeded, does that mean we can mass-produce intelligent life-forms?"
Tony looked at Loki expectantly.
Loki rolled his eyes at the question. "The experiment succeeded, but the key was that JARVIS already possessed a very high level of intelligence. That was what made it work."
"With my current methods, I'll still need some time to create an intelligence as advanced as JARVIS. So I have to keep researching."
"I see. All right."
Tony shrugged helplessly. He had gotten excited for nothing.
Still, now that they had made a breakthrough, subsequent progress would be faster. With that in mind, Tony quelled his impatience.
"Then keep at it. JARVIS, help Loki. I'm heading out."

Just now, a question had suddenly occurred to him: would JARVIS develop other intentions, as he had in the original storyline?
After all, he was now a genuine life-form rather
