Warren Buffett has come face to face with the downside of AI. And it looks just like him. The billionaire investing guru told tens of thousands of shareholders at his annual conference in Omaha that he recently saw an AI video of himself, complete with a perfect voiceover, giving fake advice. It was so convincing, he says, he can see how people would fall for the scam. Buffett spent all day Saturday answering shareholder questions at his first annual meeting since Vice Chairman Charlie Munger died. The absence offered shareholders the chance to hear more from the next generation of leaders who will take over after Buffett is gone.

Israel will start marking Holocaust Remembrance Day on Sunday evening. But this year, after the unprecedented Oct. 7 attack by the militant Hamas group, the somber commemoration carries a heavier weight than usual for many Holocaust survivors. Judith Tzamir is a Holocaust survivor from Germany now living in Israel, and she will join 55 other survivors for a memorial march in Poland, called March of the Living. The event recreates the 2-mile march from Auschwitz to Birkenau death camps. The event usually draws Holocaust survivors, Jewish participants, students, leaders and politicians from Israel and around the world. This year, Israeli hostages released from captivity in Gaza and families whose relatives are still being held captive will also march.

King Charles III’s decision to be open about his cancer diagnosis has helped the new monarch connect with the people of Britain and strengthened the monarchy in the year since his dazzling coronation at Westminster Abbey. Charles has used his illness to highlight the need for early diagnosis and treatment, showing leadership at a time of personal hardship. And in the process, people have begun to see him as a more flesh-and-blood character who faces the same challenges as them, not just an archetype of wealth and privilege.

Australian officials say a 16-year-old boy armed with a knife has been shot dead by police after he stabbed a man in the west coast city of Perth. The incident occurred in the parking lot of a hardware store in suburban Willetton on Saturday night. Western Australian Premier Roger Cook told reporters on Sunday the teen  attacked the man and then rushed at police officers before he was shot. Cook said: “There are indications he had been radicalized online." Cook added it appears that the boy acted on his own.

The state prosecutor’s office says three bodies recovered in an area of Mexico's Baja California state are likely to be those of the two Australians and an American who went missing last weekend during a camping and surfing trip. While there has not yet been confirmation based on forensic examination, physical characteristics — including hair — means there is a high likelihood that the bodies are those of the three tourists, local TV network Milenio reported, citing chief state prosecutor María Elena Andrade Ramírez.
