YouTube has developed a new AI-based system for the correct identity of the age of users, which is already in a testing era in the US. Its purpose is to provide the right content to the teenagers according to their age so that they can inadvertently avoid inappropriate materials. This technique works based on their videos watching patterns, account activity and favorite categories.
Through this AI system, it will be ascertained whether the user is under 18 or more. Based on this, users will be shown suitable content and ad for them.
If the system incorrectly recognizes a user, that is, he calls him a teenage while he is actually an adult, the user will be able to verify his age with government ID, credit card or selfie.
Special digital wellbying tools and safe suggestions will be provided for young users, such as closing individual advertisements.
AI-based feature will apply only to users who login to their YouTube account. The unlogged user will not control.
This new system will also provide relief to parents, as their children will still be able to watch videos in a safe environment on YouTube.
Reduced access to restricted content will also create a better environment for children in terms of mental health.
YouTube said that this technology has been used successfully in other countries and is now expanding in America.
