You heard that right! Mark Zuckerbeg has installed a personal assistant in his home, which is voiced by Morgan Freeman himself. Well, the voice of God can now be heard in the home of one of the richest men in the world and who better to voice the AI than Morgan Freeman?

As the proliferation of voice controlled home assistants like Amazon Echo and Google Home continue, we will soon be commanding robots to complete mundane chores and tasks much like in the 60s TV show, The Jetsons and numerous sci-fi films.

Facebook’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, started a project in early 2016 that focused on building actual AI. He said he was inspired by the popular Iron Man movies where Tony Stark had an AI assistant called Jarvis who helped him out with all sorts of tasks and information. 

He had the Facebook community post on his timeline with recommendations as to who would fit the bill to voice the AI. Morgan ‘God’ Freeman was the most popular and overwhelming choice and Mark Zuckerbed has abided with the request. It was not revealed whether Freeman was paid for his time and his contribution.

Most of the commands that the AI recognises are text based which means not all commands will be met with a reply from Morgan Freeman’s voice. Zuckerbeg can use Facebook Messenger to turn his lights on and off, play music and even open his front gate.

The future is here, people.
