YouTube is using AI to verify your age now - and if it's wrong, that's on you to fix
If the AI falsely identifies your age, and you can't prove otherwise, the restrictions won't be removed.
In an announcement yesterday, the streaming video service says it's "extending our built-in protections" by letting AI predict your age. In the meantime, YouTube will automatically apply age-appropriate protections like disabling personalized advertising, turning on digital wellbeing tools(including a screen timer, bedtime reminder, and break reminder), and safeguards to recommendations like limiting repetitive views of some kinds of content. YouTube isn't the first platform to introduce AI age verification (Instagram rolled them out just a few months ago), but it's the only one I could find that leaves the burden of correction to the user.
