For New years resolutions most normal people just decide to lose 10 pounds, or quit smoking, or do something vague like ‘really appreciate the people I love’. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, on the other hand, really takes it seriously. In the past he’s set himself the challenge of doing things like learning Mandarin, and slaughtering his own animals. This year, he’s taken things in a different direction, and decided to build his own AI robot to run his home.

“You can think of it kind of like Jarvis in Iron Man,” he recently wrote in a Facebook update. Sure, we could think about it like Jarvis in Iron Man. Or, we could think about it like Ava in Ex Machina, or HAL 9000 from 2001, or Skynet, or The Matrix, or any other number of problematic AI. Thanks a lot, Zuck.

Possibly weirder than the unintended consequences of artificial intelligence is that Mark Zuckerberg plans to build a robot to keep tabs on his daughter. “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”, he writes. That might be fair enough when raising a baby, but how awkward is it going to be when she gets older and has to ask her Dad’s omniscient robot to stop spying on her?
