🛡️ Instagram’s New AI Tool Aims to Catch Teens Lying About Their Age

The Scoop:

Instagram is deploying AI to identify teens who may be lying about their age, automatically placing suspected under-18 users into more restrictive “teen accounts.”

Key Things to Know:

• AI-driven age detection: Meta’s “adult classifier” tool will analyze user data to estimate age, flagging suspected teens for stricter privacy settings.

• Stricter privacy controls: Teens identified as under 18 will be restricted from certain interactions and content, with additional verification required for age changes.

• Ongoing age verification challenge: Users who need to verify age may submit ID or use Yoti’s video selfie tool, though appeals for mistaken classifications are still being developed.

Why it matters:
Meta’s new AI approach aims to address concerns over teen safety and mental health on Instagram. With lawsuits and scrutiny over its impact on young users, Meta’s age verification efforts are part of a larger move to create safer online spaces for teens.Read More

🔍 Predicted Outputs

Predicted outputs are the responses or answers that ChatGPT generates based on your input. The AI predicts the most likely next words or sentences to create a response that best matches what you’re asking for.

💡 Example: When you type, “Tell me a fun fact about space,” ChatGPT’s predicted output is a fact it thinks you’d find interesting, like “Did you know a day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus?” It’s all about the AI’s best guess for the answer you’re looking for!
