/><p>While voice-activated smart homes have gotten a bad rap with movies like <em>Margaux</em>, it doesn't have to be a horror show. </p><p>In fact, as AI technology advances, a voice-activated smart home could be more like an <em>Iron Man</em> Jarvis-type situation. </p><p>A Toronto home at 127 Welland Ave. might not be at Jarvis-level, but it does have voice activation, and that means the owner is closer to being a real-life Iron Man than most people. </p><p><img alt="127 Welland Ave. Toronto" id="content-image-116454"
