VIDEO: Zuckerberg’s hires Hollywood legend as digital assistant

Founder/CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg has shared a video showing the functions of his artificial intelligence assistant, Jarvis.

Programmed with the voice of Morgan Freeman, Hollywood veteran, the digital assistant can be seen carrying out a number of tasks for Zuckerberg.

Robert Downey Jr., another actor, had earlier offered to be the voice of Mark Zuckerberg’s new artificial intelligence.

Downey’s offer had come after Zuckerberg announced that he wants his AI to understand his voice and control everything in his home.

“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 (his 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 VR to help me build better services and lead my organizations more effectively,” Zuckerberg had said.

Watch below, a video of the demonstration.
