Story summary

The Meta Oversight Board ordered Meta to remove two AI-generated videos from Facebook in the United Kingdom.
The board said the videos were AI-generated because audio and facial movements were unsynced.
The videos depicted a Scottish Labour councillor and a Muslim woman on menstrual health, violating hateful conduct and bullying rules.
The board called Meta’s safeguards “consistently and fundamentally inadequate” and urged nine changes, including demoting high-risk AI content.
