The Verity COVAS from Elite Dangerous
Keanu Reeves so it would be like a copy of the Johnny Silverhand engram.
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.

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.

Alan Watts

Simon Templeman or Tony Jay (both in the Legacy of Kain series, Kain and Elder God respectively).

Morgan Freeman
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.
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.
Peter Capaldi, and he needs to swear.
I've always wanted Bill Nighy voicing my daily life so he'd be a strong candidate.
Or Ash Sroka doing Tali from Mass Effect
I'm not comfortable with a voiced computer that doesn't have Majel Barrett's voice, frankly. Google Assistant/Siri/Alexa hit my ear wrong as it is.
Jon Lovitz, playing Jay Sherman. Our personalities match up disconcertingly well.
I think I'd have to go with RC Bray. I could listen to him tell me just about anything.
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.
Honestly like anything I would likely change it over time depending on my options.
I want the Mr.Handy voice from the Fallout games! :D
Joe Kenda. I feel like I could use and AI assistant who won't bullshit me.
Kratos
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
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.
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.
I'll go with Norm Macdonald off the top of my head. Not necessarily my final choice but that'll do for now.
I say leave it to Jeeves
Scarlett Johansson or Anya Taylor-Joy
Werner Herzog
Alice Fraser's voice after hearing or making a pun. The happiness/joy is audible and infectious.
