YouTube shared that they continue to focus fully on protecting their young users. For that, YouTube Kids and special accounts that can be monitored are offered to users. It is for the safety of children from being exposed to sensitive content. Most recently, YouTube will use AI to identify the age of users.
YouTube knows that users, especially teenagers, will easily deceive their real age when creating an account. So with the use of artificial intelligence technology, this year YouTube can identify the difference between the age of older and younger users. By determining this age, the account can be set with the appropriate settings. It is one of the strategies that Meta did on Instagram last year.
It should be noted that the use of YouTube Kids and YouTube still has a lot of sensitive, indecent, easily influenced content and more. So if you are a responsible user who has young children, siblings or children nearby – make sure to monitor their YouTube activity.
