It seems as though Mark Zuckerberg wants to be more like Marvel's Tony Stark (as portrayed by Robert Downey, Jr. in the "Iron Man" and "Avengers" films) in 2016. New reports claim that the Facebook CEO wants to build a butler with artificial intelligence (AI), his personal goal for 2016.
"My personal challenge for 2016 is to build a simple AI to run my home and help me with my work. You can think of it kind of like Jarvis in Iron Man," he wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday.
As it turns out, Zuckerberg always wants to learn new things by challenging himself with non-Facebook related tasks every year.
Previously, the new father-of-one read two books every month, learned Mandarin, and even met someone new every single day. "Every challenge has a theme, and this year's theme is invention," Zuckerberg added.
According to CNET, Zuckerberg plans to build begin the new project by "boning up on existing technology" before moving on to bigger tasks. Zuckerberg explains his planned methodology:
"I'm going to start by exploring what technology is already out there. Then I'll start teaching it to understand my voice to control everything in our home - music, lights, temperature and so on. I'll teach it to let friends in by looking at their faces when they ring the doorbell. I'll teach it to let me know if anything is going on in [my daughter] Max's room that I need to check on when I'm not with her. On the work side, it'll help me visualize data in [virtual reality] VR to help me build better services and lead my organizations more effectively."
Mark Zuckerberg net worth is $47.1 billion, in spite of a one dollar salary per year. He is currently holding the top spot for the world's richest billionaires under 35.
