YouTube is bringing its AI-powered age estimation system to the United States starting August 13. The new technology will try to figure out if users are under 18 years old, even if their Google account says they are older. This change could affect millions of American YouTube users who might need to prove their age with official documents.
The system uses artificial intelligence and different signals to guess how old someone really is. YouTube looks at things like what videos people search for, what categories they watch, how they use the platform, and how old their account is. The company says it has already been using this model in other countries for some time, but now it’s coming to America.
