Google planned to implement AI systems for age predictions which would assess user eligibility toward using its products based on CNBC website reports.
The company disclosed this technological advancement in a digital protection system through a website blog targeting child and teenager protection. Company representatives stated that Google products such as YouTube would receive updates with better age-recognition technology since this platform serves billions of users who need age-related service restrictions.
The US marks this year as the start of testing machine learning age estimation methods according to Jane Fitzpatrick who leads technology at Core. Core develops technical infrastructure at the heart of major Google programs and ensures secure online conditions for all users.
Through its age estimation model the company can determine if users are under 18 thus enabling them to apply security measures together with age-appropriate content delivery according to Fitzpatrick.
Lawmakers press online platforms to deliver enhanced child protection systems while this action takes place. Google plans future international deployment of its age estimation technology while Meta initiated age deception detection tools through AI during September 2022.
A new functionality enabling parents to define call-blocking times on child devices through Google settings will become available next week as part of measures announced last year for concentration during learning.
The new Family Link app enables parents to select contacts which their children can talk to starting in the next month. Google plans to add an upcoming feature which will let parents handle payment cards associated with their children's Google Wallet.
Google pursues AI use in every sector and age-related content management through machine learning stands as the newest application from Google. The Core initiative by Google launched during a restructuring phase when the company shifted hundreds of employees to India and Mexico as reported by CNBC.
