Robert Downey Jr. Offers His Voice to Mark Zuckerberg’s Jarvis AI

Mark Zuckerberg’s latest pet project is his AI assistant Jarvis, which could have the potential to rival the offerings from rivals, such as Google Now and Cortana. What we do know is that there’s still a lot of work to be done, and it’s not even known if this will become a publicly available tool or part of Facebook’s future integration. However, given the latest potential development, we really hope it does.

That’s right, ever the smooth player Robert Downey Jr. not only offered to voice it himself but only if Bettany, the voice of Jarvis gets paid and donates that money to a cause of Cumberbatch’s choosing. “That’s the right kind of STRANGE!” being as fitting as ever given that Cumberbatch is currently working on the upcoming Dr. Strange movie. To wrap up that much PR in a simple status is impressive.

Siri, Alexa, Google, and any others on the market could be in for some interesting competition, Iron Man is just cooler without even trying.
