Meta Oversight Board overturns decision on AI-manipulated video post on Facebook
The Meta Oversight Board overturned the social media company's decision to leave up an AI-manipulated video post that showed Brazilian soccer player Ronaldo Nazário promoting an online game, which he did not.
The manipulated video was posted in September last year, which falsely showed Nazário endorsing the play-to-earn game. Interestingly, users were taken to a different game when they clicked the AI-manipulated video's link.
A Meta user complained about this post, but their report was not addressed and the content remained visible until the case reached the oversight board.
While the 'ad' was disabled for violating the company's Unacceptable Business Practices Advertising Standard, the original organic post stayed up. Only later was it removed for policy violations.
'Meta has a responsibility to 'mitigate adverse human rights impacts' of monetized content that could scam or defraud – in line with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. When paid to boost content, Meta should ensure these posts do not violate its policies,' noted the board in its decision.
The oversight board criticised Meta for lacking a uniform enforcement policy when it comes to celebrity endorsements. It also stressed Meta's responsibilities to users and the public when labelling or taking action against AI deepfakes, to prevent public fraud from taking place.
'Based on public reporting, the Board notes Meta is likely allowing significant amounts of scam content on its platforms to avoid potentially overenforcing a small subset of genuine celebrity endorsements. At-scale reviewers are not empowered to enforce this prohibition on content that establishes a fake persona or pretends to be a famous person in order to scam or defraud. Meta should enforce this prohibition at-scale by providing reviewers with often easily identifiable indicators that distinguish AI content,' noted the Meta Oversight Board in its post.

Mondays are for hustle, Fridays for AI: Study reveals why Gen Z wants bots to do the boring stuff
iStock A new Grammarly and Talker Research study reveals that American workers are losing over three hours a week to repetitive tasks, with productivity peaking on Monday mornings and crashing by Friday noon. (Image: iStock) In a revealing new survey by Grammarly, conducted in collaboration with Talker Research, American knowledge workers have offered a striking glimpse into their daily grind—and what they desperately want to leave behind. With productivity peaking at exactly 11 a.m. on Mondays and plunging into a nosedive by Friday at 12:06 p.m., the data shows that the modern office worker may be more reliant on caffeine and coping mechanisms than ever before. But as frustration brews, one thing is becoming crystal clear: artificial intelligence might just be the escape route everyone is hoping for. The survey, which polled 2,000 American employees working in knowledge-based roles, revealed that the average worker faces a barrage of 53 tasks a week that derail their productivity. This task overload adds up to over three and a half hours of 'lost productivity' every single week—a steep cost in time and efficiency. And what are the culprits behind this loss? Repetition and monotony. A staggering 44% of respondents admitted to 'hating' the repetitive aspects of their jobs. The discontent is especially strong among Gen Z employees, with 57% reporting deep dissatisfaction with mundane tasks, compared to just 42% of Gen X workers. Enter AI, not as the job-snatching villain of workplace anxiety, but as the hero workers are actually rooting for. Sixty-two percent of participants said they're eager to use AI for certain tasks, and the enthusiasm is highest among younger employees. What do they want AI to do? The wish list is pragmatic and insightful. Nearly half the respondents (49%) said they want AI tools that are easy to use. Over a third (35%) want help drafting emails, while another third said they'd love AI support for data sorting and meeting note-taking. Simplicity, autonomy, and integration with existing workflows are top priorities—indicating a growing demand for AI solutions that fit seamlessly into daily routines. Heather Breslow, Head of UX and Marketing Research at Grammarly, summed it up: 'By minimizing the tedious tasks that get in the way of true productivity, AI users have time to focus on more meaningful work that requires their judgment, creativity and care.' Despite widespread willingness to embrace AI, the corporate world appears sluggish in response. Only 38% of the surveyed workers said their companies have a clear AI usage policy. Yet half of all respondents—and a whopping 67% of Gen Z workers—wish their workplaces were more proactive in integrating AI tools. This enthusiasm stems from hope, not fear. Sixty-four percent view AI as a career growth opportunity rather than a threat. An overwhelming 76% believe AI will become essential in corporate roles—and they expect that transformation to become reality in just three and a half years. Grammarly's report sounds a clear alarm for employers dragging their feet on digital transformation. As Breslow notes, 'For organizations to stay competitive in a landscape where everyone is harnessing AI, they must actively invest in helping their people use it well.' That means structured upskilling, thoughtful tool integration, and a cultural shift toward creating AI super users—teams empowered not just to adapt, but to thrive in an AI-powered future. Whether it's sorting spreadsheets, drafting meeting notes, or simply eliminating the dread of repetitive clicks, the message from the workforce is unmistakable: Let the bots take the boring stuff. We've got better things to do.
