YouTube to use AI to detect underage viewers in the US
YouTube announced it will soon deploy AI tools to determine whether US-based viewers are under 18. The system will analyze usage patterns and other signals to flag accounts potentially in violation of the platform’s age requirements. This move responds to growing regulatory and public pressure to increase online safety for children. YouTube said the AI system will help enforce existing policies more effectively without requiring new data collection.
AI moderation is becoming central to content compliance as platforms face intensifying scrutiny over child safety.
