YouTube is introducing AI-powered age estimation to better verify user ages and protect young viewers.
The new system aims to ensure age-appropriate content and features for teens, enhancing online safety.
YouTube says the AI system is designed with privacy in mind, avoiding unnecessary data collection.
Instead of relying only on user-provided info, AI will help detect if someone is misrepresenting their age.
Teens may see restricted features or content if the system detects age mismatches, ensuring safer engagement.
The feature is part of YouTube’s broader effort to build a safer platform for younger audiences worldwide.
