Mark Zuckerberg has taken up the task of building his own 'Jarvis' the super-intelligent robotic personal assistant to Tony Stark from Iron Man.

CNET reports building his own assistant is Zuckerberg's challenge this year. The Facebook CEO takes up a challenge every year and makes his resolutions public. His past challenges included reading two books a month, to meet a new person every day and learn Mandarin. This year's challenge will be to build an AI that would help him run his 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," Zuckerberg wrote in his post on Sunday.

"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."

While Zuckerberg and Facebook surge ahead with artificial intelligence, some like Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, is proceeding with caution. Musk is part of an initiative that aims to guide AI research to ensure mankind only reaps its benefits. The company, called OpenAI, received about $ 1 billion in contributions from the likes of Musk.
