I don't know.

[ look at him, willing to admit that much. ]

AIs used to be a theory in my world. JARVIS wasn't an AI, FRIDAY isn't either, she's a program. She can have conversations and even take initative but that's only because I programmed her this way, she works according to a script.

[ he hums in thought ]

An AI is beyond script. We're talking a program that thinks, that can make their own decisions according to their own opinions. The only ones I've ever got to know were Ultron and Vision. Ultron was the first actual AI my world had seen - no thanks, I know. He took one look at the world and decided it's better to kill everyone and try again - but see - that's an opinion, that's an ability to make an informed decision. FRIDAY can't do that.

[ it raises the question: where is the line between man and machine? and (more than that) should peggy even be concerning herself with that question given the source of her curiosity is far from professional.

she taps her emptied, licked-clean spoon against her palm. ]

Was that by design? [ she frowns. ] FRIDAY's limitations.

[revokes]

You mean the fact that she's a program and not an AI?

[ at least he's more comfortable now, discussing technology. ]

[ she nods. ]

Did you hamstring yourself, so to speak, on purpose?

[revokes]

There are only two actual AIs in our world and both of them came from the stones. I don't know how to make another without them. Not yet.

[ maybe one day. ]

...That's not what I asked, Tony.

[ he can sabotage himself even if he knows he's not quite capable of it. not yet. ]
