Watch Mark Zuckerberg show off his artificial intelligence butler: 'Jarvis' can recognize friends, control lights, doors, windows and music - and is voiced by Morgan Freeman

Earlier this year, Mark Zuckerberg revealed he was dedicating his year to making a home AI butler based on Tony Stark's Jarvis in the Iron Man films.

Now, he has revealed it - and not only can it control his home, but can also entertain his daughter Max, and even fire him a trademark grey t-shirt.

In a new video released today it also reveals Zuckerberg managed to persuade Morgan Freeman to voice the AI - while Arnold Schwarzenegger failed for being too scary, which prompted the Facebook founder to tell users 'In case it's not clear, this is meant to be a fun summary and not a live demo.'

The video also reveals that Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla don't always see eye to eye on the AI - and that she was unable to use it at first.

'My personal challenge for 2016 was to build a simple AI to run my home -- like Jarvis in Iron Man,' said Zuckerberg.

'My goal was to learn about the state of artificial intelligence - where we're further along than people realize and where we're still a long ways off. 

'So far this year, I've built a simple AI that I can talk to on my phone and computer, that can control my home, including lights, temperature, appliances, music and security, that learns my tastes and patterns, that can learn new words and concepts, and that can even entertain Max.'

To create the AI, Zuckerberg was able to use Facebook's internal tools.

'It uses several artificial intelligence techniques, including natural language processing, speech recognition, face recognition, and reinforcement learning, written in Python, PHP and Objective C,' he explained. 

The system is modelled on the J.A.R.V.I.S. stands for (Just A Rather Very Intelligent System) system used by Tony Stark in the Iron Man films.
