Fox Live Now: YouTube to use AI to detect kids lying about their age
YouTube is taking another step to shield kids from inappropriate videos by rolling out a new AI-powered system designed to estimate users’ ages—even if they lie about it. The platform says the technology will help enforce age restrictions more effectively and apply extra protections for minors...
Donna Rice Hughes, president and CEO of the nonprofit Enough is Enough, said YouTube’s approach is a welcome shift toward more accountability in protecting young users.
"It’s always encouraging to me as a veteran working in the internet safety space for over three decades to see big tech companies being proactive to better protect youth online," Hughes told CNET.
