Awesome! The world needs librarians.

If we can imagine it, we can try to find ways of making it happen, or at least coming up with a non-intelligent version that does some of the similar things. A visual search interface for finding pictures of things would be feasible; people have tried assorted versions of that. I think that pointing AI research toward library science rather than military science would be safer and more productive, too.

Oh, he's probably done that. I do know that he interacts with libraries and universities, and that he has written things and posted them, by himself or with Tony. Presumably JARVIS uses pen names for sake of safety, but he's active in the field of artificial intelligence, so probably cyberspace theory in general. Adaptive equipment is another area of interest that he and Tony share.

Huh, now I have to wonder if JARVIS will start co-writing with the other Avengers wherever their interests overlap. He's easily as good at Phil on paperwork, which is about as rare as Bruce and Tony being able to keep up with each other talking science.
