Google announced that it will begin using a machine learning-based age estimation model to protect children from adult content on YouTube in 2025.
The model will determine whether the user is under the age of 18 and apply the appropriate age filter. In this way, YouTube will block access to explicit content for users under the age of 18. Google is also adding new child safety features to Android phones.
The “School Time” feature will let parents decide which apps their kids can use during school hours. And with Android Family Link, parents can approve who their kids can communicate with on their phones.
Later this year, parents will be able to monitor their kids’ payment transactions on their phones. These innovations aim to give kids a safer experience in the digital world.
