YouTube is utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to detect and identify children who may be posing as adults on its platform. This move aims to enhance the safety and protection of minors, ensuring that they are not exploiting or being exploited through the platform. The AI-powered technology will help identify potential cases where children may be misrepresenting their age or identity.
By leveraging AI, YouTube can more effectively monitor and moderate its platform, reducing the risk of harm or exploitation to minors. This development reflects the platform’s ongoing efforts to prioritize user safety and adhere to regulatory requirements, particularly those related to child protection and online safety.
