Google’s new AI age check blocks adults from accounts, causing frustration over false rejections and privacy issues.
Google is rolling out AI-powered age verification for its search engine, prompting widespread user frustration as adults are locked out of accounts after failing automated checks.
The system, which uses behavioral analysis to estimate age, restricts access for users deemed under 18, requiring proof of identity such as government IDs or credit card details to regain access.
This follows a similar rollout on YouTube earlier this year.
While Google says the move supports child safety and compliance with global privacy laws, many users report false positives, privacy concerns, and lack of appeal options, calling the process invasive and disruptive.
