Mark Zuckerberg 計劃開發人工智能技術

新年伊始，Facebook 創始人 Mark Zuckerberg 為自己制定了一項新的目標：開發一套先進的 AI 人工智能技術，可以像 Tony Stark 的智能管家「J.A.R.V.I.S.」一樣，幫助自己處理基本的家居事務。根據 Zuckerberg 的設想，這套智能系統可以直接通過語音來控制每個房間的音樂、燈光和溫度；當女兒有任何需要時，系統可以第一時間通知他；而當有朋友來訪時，它也能自動識別身分並及時打開大門。

下面便帶來 Zuckerberg 在官方 Facebook 主頁上發表的新年願望：

“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.”
