YouTube to begin testing a new AI-powered age verification system in the U.S.

YouTube's AI system uses viewing habits to verify age and restrict content for minors, starting with limited U.S. testing amid rising legal demands for stronger protections, officials said.

  • YouTube will begin testing a new AI-powered age verification system in the U.S. that uses artificial intelligence to differentiate between adults and minors based on their video viewing history.
  • The system will impose restrictions on viewers flagged as minors, including reminders to take breaks, privacy warnings, and restricted video recommendations and ads.
  • Viewers can correct inaccurate age assessments by providing identification, a credit card, or a selfie.
