YouTube will start estimating the age of its US viewers beginning today, August 13.

The platform will use AI to determine if you are under 18 and automatically apply age-appropriate experiences to your account.

You can dispute the age estimation by providing a government ID, selfie, or a credit card.

YouTube will start rolling out its new AI-powered age estimation system in the US beginning today, August 13. First announced last month, the feature uses artificial intelligence to determine whether a user is likely under 18, based on factors such as their viewing habits, YouTube search history, and how long their account has been active. This process applies to all YouTube accounts, regardless of the birthdate entered during sign-up.
