Google has announced some new safety elements to help protect young users of its apps, including a new machine learning-based system to detect user ages.
As noted by YouTube chief Neal Mohan earlier in the week, Google says that it’s developed a new model that will be able to detect user ages, and adjust what it presents to them accordingly.
As explained by Google:
“As we continue to find new ways to deliver age-appropriate safeguards, one of the most complex challenges is understanding the age of the user. This year we’ll begin testing a machine learning-based age estimation model in the U.S. This model helps us estimate whether a user is over or under 18 so that we can apply protections to help provide more age-appropriate experiences. We’ll bring this technology to more countries over time.”
