OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — 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.
