YouTube turns to AI to spot children posing as adults
YouTube has started using artificial intelligence (AI) to figure out when users are children pretending to be adults on the popular video-sharing platform amid pressure to protect minors from sensitive content. The new safeguard is being rolled out in the United States as Google-owned YouTube and social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok are under scrutiny to shield children from content geared for grown-ups. A version of AI referred to as machine learning will be used to estimate the age of users based on a variety of factors, including the kinds of videos watched and account longevity, according to YouTube Youth director of product management James Beser. "This technology will allow us to infer a user's age and then use that signal, regardless of the birthday in the account, to deliver our age-appropriate product experiences and protections," Beser said. "We've used this approach in other markets for some time, where it is working well." The age-estimation model enhances technology already in place to deduce user age, according to YouTube. Users will be notified if YouTube believes them to be minors, giving them the option to verify their age with a credit card, selfie, or government ID, according to the tech firm. Social media platforms are regularly accused of failing to protect the well-being of children. Australia will soon use its landmark social media laws to ban children under 16 from YouTube, a top minister said late last month, stressing a need to shield them from "predatory algorithms." Communications Minister Anika Wells said four-in-ten Australian children had reported viewing harmful content on YouTube, one of the most visited websites in the world. Australia announced last year it was drafting laws that will ban children from social media sites such as Facebook, TikTok and Instagram until they turn 16. "Our position remains clear: YouTube is a video sharing platform with a library of free, high-quality content, increasingly viewed on TV screens," the company said in a statement at the time. On paper, the ban is one of the strictest in the world. It is due to come into effect on December 10. The legislation has been closely monitored by other countries, with many weighing whether to implement similar bans.

‘BMC didn't follow policy in tenancy transfer to woman'
Mumbai: Bombay High Court has rapped the BMC for not following procedure in its policy for transferring tenancy to a woman of a shop-cum-residence in a Worli building that was razed for redevelopment. "There was no reason for the municipal corporation to unnecessarily stick to the stand that unless an NOC (no objection certificate) of all legal heirs are produced, transfer cannot be effected. When a policy provided for a practical way out, the municipal corporation has, for reasons best known to them, adopted the usual 'we will not do it, let the court do' approach which has resulted into unnecessary litigation of this kind,'' said Justice Milind Sathaye in Wednesday's verdict. The woman appealed against the Feb 2002 civil court's order that dismissed her suit holding that the BMC proved that as per its Jan 1989 policy a tenement cannot be transferred without consent of all legal heirs and that the right to occupy is jointly owned by all the legal heirs. The woman lived with her mother in a 360-sq-ft BMC-owned premises with her tenant-mother who died in Sept 1984. The BMC insisted on an NOC from other legal heirs to transfer the tenancy to her name. Three married sisters objected that she does not have exclusive right to tenancy.

The BMC must adopt a procedure "conducive to quick disposal of applications like transfer of tenancy which supports overall development. .. The practical aspect under the applicable policy was totally missed by the learned trial judge." Justice Sathaye quashed and set aside the lower court's order and directed the BMC to transfer the premises to the woman as per procedure. Referring to an Aug 2022 order, where she was directed to vacate and hand over the premises to the developer, the judge said she will be entitled to occupy the permanent alternate accommodation subject to undertaking that she shall not sell, transfer, alienate or create third party rights and will be bound by any suit filed by her sisters for declaration of share/right. The judge restrained the sisters from disturbing her possession without following due process of law. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Tata Sons shareholders clear Noel Tata's appointment as Director
Mumbai, Aug 14 (UNI) Shareholders of Tata Sons, the unlisted 150-billion-dollar holding company of the Tata Group, voted overwhelmingly in favour of appointing the late Tata Group chairperson Ratan Tata's half-brother, Noel N Tata and three other directors to its board, at its 107th Annual General Meeting (AGM) today. Noel Tata, who became chairman of Tata Trusts in October 2024, was nominated to the Tata Sons Board by the trusts and appointed an additional director last year. Tata Sons shareholders have also approved the reappointment of Venu Srinivasan and Saurabh Agrawal, as well as appointed Anita Marangoly George, the co-founder and CEO of emerging-markets growth fund Prosperete, as an independent director. Noel Tata is the son of Naval Hormusji Tata and his second wife Simone Tata, a former chairperson of Lakmé, a well-known beauty and cosmetics brand which was later sold to Hindustan Lever. Noel Tata graduated from the University of Sussex in the UK and also pursued an advanced management programme at INSEAD, France, which provided him with a strong educational background in business management. Noel Tata's last executive assignment was as the Managing Director of Tata International Limited, the trading and distribution arm of the Tata Group, between August 2010 and November 2021, where he grew the company from a turnover of 500 million dollars to over 3 billion dollars. Prior to his stint at Tata International, Noel Tata served as the Managing Director of Trent Limited for more than 11 years, where he oversaw the growth of Trent across formats – from a one store operation in 1998 to a network of more than 800 stores across formats.
