Baptized Jarvis, the program allows you to control the lighting, temperature, security, or even the music of the home of Mark Zuckerberg.
Mark Zuckerberg has gone ahead with its annual challenge: to design a wizard home to his home. Baptized Jarvis, in reference to the virtual assistant of Iron Man, the program artificial intelligence will control the lights, temperature, music programming or the safety of his house. The founder of Facebook, said in a message to be able to communicate with him directly from his phone or his computer.
Jarvis warns Mark Zuckerberg, to the arrival of a guest.
Designed in a hundred days, Jarvis combines voice recognition, facial recognition and automatic language processing, to work. Among its many features, the ability to prevent its creator from the arrival of a guest, determine the identity by face recognition and open the doors of his home to a distance. Mark Zuckerberg says focus the sending and receiving of messages to the voice communication to interact with his program. He believes that the text still allows for more control than the simple voice, yet crucial to the ecosystems of the Amazon Echo and Google Home. Jarvis will have to adapt as the habits and tastes of Zuckerberg, to learn new words and concepts and “fun Max”, their daughter.
“in some ways, this challenge was easier to overcome than what I was expecting,” says the entrepreneur of 32 years. “My other bet, which was to run 365 miles (590 kilometers, editor’s note) in 2016, took me more time in total.” Mark Zuckerberg has a habit of imposing itself as a challenge per year. The opportunity to learn mandarin, meet one person who doesn’t work at Facebook by day, write every day a letter of thanks to the people who make the world a better place, or to eat only meat killed by his own care.
Mark Zuckerberg holds its annual challenge a main difficulty to be overcome: connect and communicate all of the systems used in him. “Even before being able to devise any artificial intelligence, I had to immerse myself in the code to succeed in connecting these systems, which all use different languages and protocols”, written there. It specifies use of a trademark system, Crestron for lighting, and the setting of the thermostat and the control gates, a speaker Sonos for Spotify, or even a camera Nest to monitor their daughter. The CEO of Facebook joined in this analysis by Gartner. In a study published at the end of November, the firm was the lack of integration of the systems used by different manufacturers of a brake on the deployment of the connected home.
These next few months, Mark Zuckerberg plans to improve the learning skills of Jarvis, but also to equip it with a mobile app. If the code developed to make it work is still too bound to his home and to its network configuration to be made available in Open Source, it designs to define a program more general, that could apply to any type of homes equipped with connected objects. “This would be a very good basis for a new product”, let there imagine. Whatever happens, he claims not to be able to develop a system that is totally self-learner, at least to initiate a fundamental break in the way that works the artificial intelligence to the current time.
Still absent from the market for virtual assistants at home, Facebook has focused in recent months on the deployment of artificial intelligence. In June 2015, the social network has opened a research centre in Paris to work on this issue. A few months earlier, Facebook had purchased Wit.ai, a start-up founded by the French and specialized in voice recognition. Its technology allows you to control a smartphone or to interact with objects that are connected through the voice. It has already been used in the framework of the bots on the Messenger app, programs able to discuss with users and to perform simple tasks.
