Google is testing a technology with mechanical learning in the US to determine the age of users and filter the content on all its products accordingly.
The company said it would look at data from Google accounts, including the details of users or video categories they have watched on YouTube to determine age. If the company’s tool decides that a user is under 18 years of age, it will receive an email with details on how Google products may change for them.
For these users, Google will turn off the timetable on maps, stop personalized ads, limit age -limit ads and exclude them from accessing adult applications to the Play Store. The company will also be activated Characteristics On YouTube, such as reminders and “Go To Bed” alerts when eating late at night. In addition, it will prevent underage users from accessing certain types of content – such as content that could cause body image problems – repeatedly.
If users believe they have been marked as a minor account by mistake, they can appeal to the decision and prove their age using a photo of their identity or a selfie.
Google has put similar measures for YouTube earlier this week and now the company is experimenting with the age based on US mechanical learning for Google accounts in general. The company said it has experimented with age-esteem technology in some markets (without specifying which) and worked well.
“Ensuring age helps us to ensure that adults can access the information and services they need while applying the right protection for our younger users. said in a post.
Other platforms, such as Instagram and Roblox, have also begun to use AI to appreciate the age of their users. Legislators work to set rules related to serving the appropriate content to minors. In the US, many states have existing or proposed laws around age. Meanwhile, platforms have also begun the age verification in the UK after passing The Law on Internet Security.
