Zuckerberg said in a Jan. 3 Facebook post that his personal challenge for 2016 was to use artificial intelligence to create a personal assistant, which he described as his own version of Jarvis from Iron Man. On Monday, he offered a detailed update on Jarvis, and highlights follow.

He provided the following overview of Jarvis:
