• Moltbook allows AI-powered programs to hold conversations, sparking both interest and ethical concerns.
• The Moltbook team will join Meta's Superintelligence Labs to enhance AI capabilities for users and businesses.
• This acquisition aligns with Meta's increased investment in AI projects, including the prior purchase of AI firm Manus.

Meta's advisory board has urged the social media giant to enhance its oversight of fake artificial intelligence (AI)-generated videos, citing concerns over the "proliferation" of such content.

• The board warned that the rise of fake AI videos in global conflicts "risks a general distrust of all information."
• Meta, which currently relies heavily on user self-disclosure or complaints, agreed to label the specific video within seven days.
