๐ YouTube’s New AI-Powered Age Estimation Technology ๐
Starting August 13th, YouTube will leverage machine learning to identify users under 18, enhancing user safety and content appropriateness. Hereโs what you need to know:
- Automatic Age Detection: Based on user activity and account age, YouTube will impose restrictions on underage accounts.
- Protective Features: Expect the same safeguards as current under-18 users:
- Block on age-restricted videos
- Non-personalized ads
- โTake a breakโ reminders
- Limit on sensitive topic recommendations
- Verification Process: Users can challenge incorrect age assumptions by uploading a government ID, taking a selfie, or entering a credit card.
This initiative could change the game for content creators, as ads may shift due to audience reclassification.
