YouTube introduces new ai feature: YouTube has added a new AI feature to its age estimate tool to increase the safety of minor users on its platform. This AI system is specially designed to identify accounts below 18 years of age, so that their access to adult materials can be prevented. Google has decided to impose several types of restrictions on these accounts through this feature. This tool analyzes the user’s activities and video watching patterns decide whether the account is running a minor or adult.

Reddit users shared experience

According to the report, many reddit users have shared experiences that accounts that AI considered a minor received a pop-up message. It said that their account settings have been changed and age verification has failed. The purpose of YouTube is to stop cases where minors reach the adult material by registering wrong age. The new AI tool distinguishes between minor and adult users using account activities.

If AI feels that the account is being used by the minor, he automatically changes the account setting and makes it a banned minor account. At the same time, if the adult account is accidentally considered a minor account, then the users can certify their age and restore it into the adult account. For this, birth certificate, government identity card or other documents will have to be uploaded. AI tool checks the user’s activities, search history and account creating age, so that the correct identity can be ensured.

Adult accounts mistakenly converted to minor accounts

YouTube has admitted that in some cases adult accounts have been accidentally converted into minor accounts. Such users can prove their age and change the account into adult settings. If the user does not perform age verification, its account will be permanently considered a minor account and adult material will be restricted on it.

This new AI feature is a major step to increase the safety of minor users from YouTube and prevent their access to unfair materials on the platform. Through this, the platform wants to ensure that children can only see safe and appropriate materials for them, while adult users continue to have comfortable access to their content.

Overall, this step of YouTube is being seen as an important effort for digital safety and the safety of online children, playing the main role of technical improvements and AI.
