YouTube tests AI to restrict content for users it deems underage based on viewing habits.

YouTube is testing a new AI system in the U.S. to estimate users' ages based on their viewing habits and account details. If the AI deems a user under 18, it will apply safety measures like content restrictions. Users incorrectly identified as minors can verify their age with ID. This move follows global trends in stricter online safety laws aimed at protecting children, with the UK and several U.S. states already implementing similar measures.
