YouTube is going to start relying on AI to determine whether or not an account belongs to a teen or an adult, and take actions as a result. In a recent blog post, YouTube announced machine learning would "interpret a variety of signals that help us to determine whether a user is over or under 18".

If the AI falsely identifies your age, and you can't prove otherwise, the restrictions won't be removed. AI age verification is coming to YouTube, and it's almost certainly going to be a frustrating process for some people.

YouTube is rolling out a new AI that tries to guess whether you're an adult or a teen. If it determines you're underage, it will apply protections to your account—and it's on you to fix it if it's wrong.
