YouTube is testing a new age-verification system in the U.S. that uses artificial intelligence to determine if viewers are adults or minors based on their viewing habits. Initially, this will only affect a small segment of users who are logged into their accounts. If identified as under 18, normal restrictions will apply, aiming to ensure minors don't access inappropriate content. The verification process is adjustable through government ID or alternate identification. For users not logged in, certain content will be automatically blocked without proof of age.
YouTube will begin testing a new age-verification system in the U.S. utilizing AI to determine viewer age based on their video consumption.
The new system will restrict minors from watching inappropriate content and will impose age-related controls, irrespective of the birth date entered at sign-up.
If a viewer is mistakenly flagged as under 18, correction can be made by providing a government ID, credit card, or selfie.
Political pressure is increasing on platforms to improve age verification and better protect children from unsuitable content.
