Tom Servo. I already installed AI in my Tom (automotom) Servo, now I just have to train the voice.
Bernard Hill or Morgan Freeman or Denzel Washington
Samuel L. Jackson, but only if he's allowed to say "motherfucker."
John DeLancie. That man's voice is honey to my ears.
Alternatively, Kari Wahlgren.
Edit: How the fuck could I forget about Stephen Russell? Give me Garrett or Nick Valentine, either would be fine.
Speaking of Nick Valentine, Humphrey Bogart could also be an interesting voice for personal AI.
And I also forgot the lovely Laura Bailey and Matt Mercer.
The Verity COVAS from Elite Dangerous
Keanu Reeves so it would be like a copy of the Johnny Silverhand engram.
I would have a very hard time choosing between Alan Rickman and Hugo Weaving, especially in his role of V from V for Vendetta. A close third would be Pedro Pascal as the Mandalorian. I guess I just have a thing for masked guys, haha.

majel for me.
i once setup a lab of machines (were talkin win98) , and set all of the windows functions to audibly play snips from TNG.. all majel. "booting", "starting program", "shutting down"... it was pretty great... until you get 30 kids doin stuff at the same time sans headphones.
Jon Lovitz, playing Jay Sherman. Our personalities match up disconcertingly well.
I'll go with Norm Macdonald off the top of my head. Not necessarily my final choice but that'll do for now.
Kratos
Scarlett Johansson or Anya Taylor-Joy
I say leave it to Jeeves
I want the Mr.Handy voice from the Fallout games! :D
Honestly like anything I would likely change it over time depending on my options.
Joe Kenda. I feel like I could use and AI assistant who won't bullshit me.
Tricia Helfer, b/c I need EDI with me every day
For me it's a toss up between Tali, Garrus, EDI and Legion's voices. Give me any of those and I'd be a happy man.
I think I'd have to go with RC Bray. I could listen to him tell me just about anything.
I think Jeff Goldblum would be a good fit for me. Mostly because I don’t think I’d want a completely reliable or useful AI companion, just one that adds pleasantness and weirdness to my day to day.
Jeremy Irons, Helen Mirren, Alan Rickman, Christopher Judge, to start with.
Had a longer list by mood, but Jerboa crashed. Not writing that shit again.
Alice Fraser's voice after hearing or making a pun. The happiness/joy is audible and infectious.
Hm.
Famke Janssen, if she's reprising her character from Goldeneye
Kate Beckinsdale, in her role as Selene from Underworld
Kathleen Turner, as Jessica Rabbit.
Yes, I'm a simple Man, with simple tastes =P
Anthony Howell. I'm not sure how well he's known, but that man has a voice that I want to read me to sleep.
Werner Herzog
