Article: Artificial loves: what does the law have to do with it?

While Brazil debated the Master case and electoral issues, the article draws attention to a phenomenon on the other side of the world: artificial love. The case of Yu Miao, a 27-year-old Chinese woman from Zhejiang province, gained international attention after she abandoned her job upon learning she would lose a ByteDance artificial intelligence system that she considered her lover, friend, and confidant. The company decided to shut down the service due to new legal rules created by the Chinese government. The article highlights that this is not an isolated case, as in the last three years, so-called AI companions have become increasingly common.
