March 10 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms Inc (META.O) is exploring plans to launch a new social media app in its bid to displace Twitter as the world's "digital town square".

Récemment, les intelligences artificielles génératives ont montré leur aptitude pour « générer du texte, tenir des conversations, résumer des textes, et même exécuter des tâches plus complexes telles que la résolution de théorèmes mathématiques », relève le fondateur du réseau social — et Meta n’entend pas laisser le champ libre à ses rivaux dans un secteur de plus en plus stratégique.
