Zuckerberg's New Year's resolution: Build a smart home that rivals sci fi

Mark Zuckerberg wants to build an artificially-intelligent assistant that will control his home and eventually provide assistance with his work, he announced in a Facebook post on Sunday. The project, which Mr. Zuckerberg likened to Jarvis, the robotic butler used by Tony Stark in the "Iron Man" films, would begin with existing Internet of Things devices, which allow users to control the temperature, lights, and other electronic devices while away from home. "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," he wrote on the social media site. "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 Max's room that I need to check on when I'm not with her," he added, referring to his newborn daughter.
