Starting today (February 13th), Google is beginning to test the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to determine whether a user is suitable for a product's age range.
Google has just announced a new technique for determining user age, focusing on "New digital safeguards for children, teenagers, and parents."
Google has begun testing the use of AI to determine users' age.
A spokesperson confirmed that the automation feature will be used across Google products, including YouTube. Google has billions of users across its products, and users identified as under 18 years old will be restricted from certain Google services.
"This year, we began testing a machine learning-based age estimation model in the U.S.," wrote Jenn Fitzpatrick, senior vice president of Google's Core Technologies group, in a blog post. The Core unit is responsible for building the technical foundation behind the company's flagship products and protecting users' online safety.
"This model helps us estimate whether a user is under or over 18 years old, so we can apply safeguards to provide a more age-appropriate experience," said Fitzpatrick.
Google's latest move on AI comes as lawmakers pressure online platforms to create more child safety provisions. The company said it will roll out AI-based age estimation to more countries in the near future. Meta had previously deployed similar features, using AI to determine if someone might be lying about their age, starting in September 2024.
Google and other companies in the tech industry have increased their reliance on AI for a variety of tasks and products. Using AI for age-related content represents Google's latest AI front.
According to CNBC, the new initiative from Google's "Core" team comes after the company reorganized its unit last year, laying off hundreds of employees and moving some roles to India and Mexico.
