Dog's Loyalty Inspires Law; AI, Epstein, & DeepMind in News

A new law in São Paulo, Brazil, will allow pets to be buried alongside their owners, inspired by a dog that remained by its owner's grave for a decade. The law, informally dubbed the "Bob Coveiro Law," was signed this week by Governor Tarcísio de Freitas, recognizing the emotional bond between people and their pets, according to The Guardian.

The law's namesake, a dog called Bob Coveiro ("the Gravedigger"), stayed by his owner's grave for ten years. The new legislation is a significant step in acknowledging the importance of the human-animal bond, as reported by The Guardian.

In other news, Norwegian police conducted searches of properties owned by former Prime Minister Thorbjorn Jagland as part of a corruption investigation linked to the late Jeffrey Epstein, Al Jazeera reported. The probe was initiated after documents released by the US Department of Justice in January indicated potential connections between Jagland and/or members of his circle and Epstein.

Meanwhile, Waymo, the self-driving developer, is urging Washington, DC residents to pressure city officials to pass new regulations allowing its robotaxis to operate in the district. According to Wired, Waymo has been pushing for new rules for over a year, but self-driving cars can only test in the city with humans behind the wheel. The company has previously stated its intention to begin offering driverless rides in DC this year.

In the realm of technology, AI is already making online crimes easier, and the situation could worsen, according to MIT Technology Review. Hackers are using AI tools to reduce the time and effort needed to orchestrate attacks, lowering the barriers for less experienced attackers. Some experts warn of the potential for fully automated attacks, while others emphasize the immediate risks posed by AI, which is already speeding up and increasing the volume of scams.

Finally, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis juggles his role with a second job as the founder of a multibillion-dollar startup, starting a second workday at 10 p.m., according to Fortune. "I do try and get six hours, but I have unusual sleeping habits I sort of manage during the day," Hassabis said on Fortune's "Titans and Disruptors of Industry" podcast. He tries to pack his day with back-to-back meetings.
