Chances that Facebook will strike a deal with Disney to adopt the Jarvis name and Paul Bettany voice and roll out their own A.I. helper personality in the future to compete with Siri/Alexa/Cortana/Google Now eventually?
Jarvis is from Iron Man.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I think the remarkable bit is that he did this while being the CEO of Facebook. There's not a huge number of corporate CEOs who still code at all, and have time to put in a big project like this. And as someone who's worked with writing some of the same sort of code, it's really enjoyable to see someone drastically more talented making many of the same observations and encountering similar challenges.
It goes under CEO time as marketing.
Mark is at a place that he can really envision and execute a lot of things relatively easily that is unimaginable for people who are struggling for basic acceptance and success i.e most of us. Success usually begets success and more determination.
Say what you will about Zuckerberg, but this is a really cool project! Steps he took: 1. Connect his home devices (lights, thermostat, doors, music player, TV, CCTV etc) to his computer, so he can turn them on and off from it and in general automate his house from his PC. 2. Add an NLP component to his computer, so he could text instructions to it and it would apply the correct automation task. This can learn prefere…

If so, then Machine Learning is just predicting the next possible result using the statistical probability of previously studied data, and could not qualify as AI either.
AI is being broken down in to so many parts, some that are invisible to us, that: either we abuse it to the point of over simplification, reclassify it as common sense, and redraw the finish line of where AI starts; OR we start calling everything we do a version of AI from computers turning off the lights to balancing the controls in the first Apollo missions.
