The Facebook founder is working with artificial intelligence after admitting he wants an assistant like JARVIS from the Iron Man films.
Mr Zuckerberg revealed the surprising challenge on his Facebook page.
He said: “My personal challenge for 2016 is to build a simple AI to run my home and help me with my work.

He plans to teach the technology to understand his voice so it can control everything in his home, such as music, lights and temperature.
He also wants to teach the assistant to let friends into his home by looking at their faces when they ring the doorbell.
The philanthropist continued: “I'll teach it to let me know if anything is going on in Max's room that I need to check on when I'm not with her.
