Meta’s future plans involve filling Facebook and Instagram with AI Friends to make their social media platforms “more engaging and entertaining.”
Key Details:
These AI Friends will have profiles, create content, and engage in conversations.
The goal is to infuse Facebook and Instagram with more content, more interactions, and more engagement.
“We expect these AI Friends to actually, over time, exist on our social media platforms, kind of in the same way human accounts do,” said Connor Hayes, VP of Product for GenAI at Meta.
Why It’s Important:
Meta recently hired app developer Michael Sayman, who created SocialAI, an app that allows you to interact with millions of AI Followers.
Everyone struggles to gain followers on Facebook and Instagram because modern social media algorithms reward engagement. AI Friends aims to help grow followings by driving engagement on posts.

AI IN ROBOTICS
🦾A Massive Dataset of Over a Million Robotic Movements

Chinese Robotics Firm AgiBot introduced “AgiBot WorldAlpha,” a massive dataset of over a million robotic movements from real-world industrial settings.
Key Details:
AgiBot collected data from over 100 robots operating across factories and warehouses. This data includes Movements (e.g., balancing, navigating, and interacting) as well as Interactions with objects, environments, and humans.
This massive dataset helps train robots on:
Tool Usage: A robot’s ability to use tools, such as wrenches, hammers, or screwdrivers.
Fine-Grained Manipulation: A robot’s ability to perform precise and delicate movements.
Multi-Robot Collaboration: A robot’s ability to coordinate and cooperate with other robots to achieve a common goal.
Researchers and Developers can access this massive dataset for free through GitHub or Hugging Face to fuel their robotic projects.
Why It’s Important:
Instead of spending countless hours collecting their own data, Developers can focus on creating AI-based frameworks to improve a robot’s abilities.
Developers can leverage this massive dataset to create manufacturing robots built for stacking and arranging goods onto pallets for storage, shipping, and delivery.
AI IN HIGH SCHOOL
🎓Humanoid Robot Teaches High School Students

Students at Willms High School in Germany’s Delmenhorst were led through a week of lectures and debates by an AI-powered humanoid robot called “Captcha,” who discussed AI and the technology’s influence on different aspects of society.
“There was a bit of a lack of personal contact, but the arguments were all very solid,” said high school student Kenen Soenmez. This experiment raises important questions about the role of humanoid robots in the classroom and the potential benefits and drawbacks of AI-powered teaching.
