YouTube to Test AI-Powered Age Verification in the US

YouTube is launching a new system in the US that uses artificial intelligence to determine a user's age based on their viewing history. This system aims to distinguish between adult and minor viewers.
The tests will begin on Wednesday and initially involve a small segment of YouTube users in the US.

"YouTube on Wednesday will begin testing a new age-verification system in the U.S. that relies on artificial intelligence to differentiate between adults and minors, based on the kinds of videos that they have been watching."
If the system proves effective, it's expected to be rolled out more broadly. This new approach leverages AI to improve age verification, potentially offering a more sophisticated method compared to current systems.
