Meta's advanced AI detects twice as much adult content and blocks 5,000 daily scam attempts, reducing human moderator reliance over several years.

- The company also debuted a Meta AI digital support assistant offering 24/7 help in Facebook and Instagram apps and Help Center, aiming to find revenue‑generating AI uses amid lawsuits over child safety.
