Robert Downey Jr. is hosting a YouTube show about artificial intelligence because he is truly Iron Man
In a move straight out of Tony Stark's playbook, Robert Downey Jr. will executive produce and host a new YouTube Red exclusive series about artificial intelligence. The yet-untitled series will feature experts in A.I. and related fields and is set to premiere on the platform in 2019.

Downey's 8-episode series will touch on the current and future states of A.I, as well as the many ways it's changed the way humans interact with each other and the world. Susan Downey, Downey's wife and partner in their production company Team Downey, described the show as "a fascinating journey as we explore the exciting developments in the world of A.I. and glimpse into the future" in a release.
It sure is nice for YouTube to partner up with RDJ and give him a chance to redeem his reputation around artificial intelligence, especially considering what happened last time.
