YouTube’s AI technology will analyse indicators such as user video searches, viewed content categories, and account age. If the system believes a user is under 18, restrictions for teenagers will be automatically applied to their account. These include non-personalised advertising, limitations on frequent video suggestions on sensitive topics, and digital well-being tools such as screen time and bedtime reminders. If the AI makes an incorrect assessment, users can verify their age using a government ID, selfie, or credit card.
