According to Google's latest announcement, YouTube will use machine learning (Machine Learning) to automatically apply age restrictions on videos, aiming to expand the use of artificial intelligence to automatically block some videos for viewers who are not logged into their YouTube account or logged in as viewers under 18 years old.

YouTube has utilized machine learning to flag inappropriate content for the Trust & Safety team's review, but the company plans to expand the use of this technology in the future. If children attempt to watch a restricted video through an embed on another website, Google will redirect them to YouTube, where they need to log in to prove they are over 18 years old. The company states: 'This will help ensure that no matter where the video is found, it can only be viewed by the appropriate age group.'

To enhance age restrictions on videos, YouTube will employ AI technology

AI technology, or artificial intelligence, is currently widely used and increasingly popular in many fields, especially in technology, but many people still do not understand this concept.

Google states that content creators can appeal age restriction rules they believe are incorrect. The company also notes that this automation will not significantly impact the revenue of content creators.

The recent announcement marks Google's latest initiative to make YouTube a more responsible platform for parents and their children following various controversies. In 2019, the company had to pay $170 million to settle allegations of unlawfully collecting data from children who watched online video streaming services. Since then, the company has rolled out features such as the web version of the YouTube Kids app to address those concerns.
