A new system is being rolled out in Youtube soon, which will easily catch the age lies of underage children. This tool will work to prevent children from watching adult content on YouTube.

A big change is going to happen in YouTube from August 13. Google's video streaming platform has made new preparations. The age of users will be detected through AI. YouTube has developed this new tool to prevent children, especially teenagers, from creating accounts. Through this tool, the age of children can be estimated so that they will not be able to watch adult content by entering a false age. This new system of YouTube will easily catch the trick of giving wrong age by underage children.

New tool released on August 13

According to a recent report, YouTube is going to roll out this tool on August 13. It will first be rolled out for the beta version, after the testing is completed, it will be rolled out in full. This feature of YouTube will currently be tested in the US. After this it will be rolled out in other countries.

Governments of many countries have asked tech companies to improve online safety policies so that children cannot misuse it. Rules have also been made regarding this in UK, Australia, European countries and tech companies have been told to keep minors away from unnecessary content.

Age assessment through AI

According to the report, this AI system of YouTube will assess the age of children. It will focus on the content searched by users. An attempt will be made to find out the age based on what the user searches throughout the day.

If YouTube's AI detects that the user is under 18 years of age, then some restrictions will be applied to that account so that they cannot watch adult content. Apart from this, Take Break notification or alert system will also be implemented for teenagers, which will ask younger children to take a break from YouTube so that they do not get addicted to it.
