朱克伯格2016年目標：變身Iron Man？

踏入新的一年，你會給甚麼新的目標自己呢？

facebook創辦人朱克伯格就在其個人facebook中，和網友分享他今年的個人目標—就是為自己的家居創造一個人工智能系統，即類似鐵甲奇俠Iron Man中的「Jarvis」！

電影中Jarvis是鐵甲奇俠東尼·史塔克（Tony Stark）的人工智能管家，當中呈現的多種功能，朱克伯格都希望能在現實中一一實現。

例如他希望可以透過語音，控制及隨時改變家居環境，包括音樂、燈光、溫度等等。他又希望，自己的「Jarvis」可以聰明到自行辨認訪客樣子，當朋友來訪時會自動開門讓他進入；甚至當自己走開了時，如愛女Max的房間發生任何情況，可以立即通知他。當然他亦希望人工智能系統可以協助VR（Virtual Reality）的開發工作，並幫助他更有效率地管理自己的企業。

和其他成功人士一樣，朱克伯格每年都為自己訂立目標，並努力將它實現。他近年就曾為自己訂下目標，要每個月讀兩本書、學好普通話及每一人都認識一個新朋友。力爭上游的你，今年又有甚麼目標呢？

以下為朱克伯格在facebook中分享的原文：

Every year, I take on a personal challenge to learn new things and grow outside my work at Facebook. My challenges in recent years have been to read two books every month, learn Mandarin and meet a new person every day.

 

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.

 

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 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.

 

Every challenge has a theme, and this year's theme is invention.

 

At Facebook I spend a lot of time working with engineers to build new things. Some of the most rewarding work involves getting deep into the details of technical projects. I do this with Internet.org when we discuss the physics of building solar-powered planes and satellites to beam down internet access. I do this with Oculus when we get into the details of the controllers or the software we're designing. I do this with Messenger when we discuss our AI to answer any question you have. But it's a different kind of rewarding to build things yourself, so this year my personal challenge is to do that.

 

This should be a fun intellectual challenge to code this for myself. I'm looking forward to sharing what I learn over the course of the year.
