YouTube will begin using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to estimate users' ages and automatically apply restrictions to those identified as under 18.
The feature will begin rolling out in the United States starting August 13, 2025. Using machine learning , YouTube will estimate a user's age based on their activity and the age information listed on their account.
"We'll start rolling out this machine learning gradually to a small subset of users in the US, so that teens are treated like teens, and adults like adults," YouTube Director of Product Management James Beser told The Verge.
