Mark Zuckerberg turns the lights off with Jarvis, his personal AI system.
“But when I ask people questions, you can imagine that they respond pretty quickly.” “I didn’t go through a formal Bootcamp,” Zuckerberg told me last week in the spacious living room of his classic 113-year-old wood-frame Palo Alto, California, home, where I’ve come for a Jarvis demo and the first interview he has given about this year’s personal-challenge project. That in turn has reconnected him to the daily experience of the thousands of engineers he manages and the engineering culture that’s at the heart of one of the world’s most important technology companies.īut being CEO of Facebook is not the kind of job you can abandon for six weeks in the interest of continuing education.
An exciting exploration of the state of the art of AI–a technology field essential to Facebook’s future–the project also forced him to refresh his command of the company’s programming tools and processes. Last January, Zuckerberg announced that he planned to build an AI system to run his home using Facebook tools, in the latest of the personal-growth challenges he gives himself each year. But the 32-year-old CEO never went through the Bootcamp program, which was launched in 2006, two years after he founded the company in his Harvard dorm room. Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s original engineer, contributed more to that code than anyone else in the early years of its existence.
