YouTube turns to AI to spot children posing as adults

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo SAN FRANCISCO, United States — 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. "It's not social media." 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. — Agence France-Presse

Maya to disable access to gaming sites via Games feature, effective Aug 16, 2025

Mobile wallet Maya has announced it will disable access to online gaming sites within its application on Saturday, August 16, 2026 at 8 p.m. In an advisory, Maya said until such time 'customers may withdraw any remaining funds from linked gaming accounts back to their Maya Wallet via the Games feature.' 'After the deadline, customers may withdraw their funds directly through the gaming provider's website or app,' it said. Maya's move was in compliance with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas's (BSP) order for e-wallets to take down icons and links of online gambling platforms within 48 hours. 'Maya fully supports the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and other government efforts to ensure a safe, responsible, and resilient financial system for all Filipinos,' Maya said. 'We will always safeguard our customers and ensure uninterrupted availability of all our financial services. Maya will continue working closely with regulators and industry partners to uphold the highest standards of consumer protection and full compliance with all regulations,' it added. BSP Deputy Governor Mamerto Tangonan made the announcement during a hearing of the Senate Committee on Games and Amusement on Thursday, saying that the directive was given within the day. By Sunday, he said, e-wallets should be disconnected from online gaming platforms. 'The Monetary Board of the [BSP] has approved our policy that we asked... We ordered, directed the BSP supervising institutions to take down and remove all icons and links redirecting to gambling sites,' Tangonan said. — LA, GMA Integrated News
