YouTube Uses AI to Catch Kids Pretending to Be Adults
YouTube is rolling out AI age-detection in the US to spot minors lying about their age. The system uses viewing habits, account history, and other signals to estimate a user’s real age regardless of what’s on their profile. If flagged as underage, users can verify with an ID, credit card, or selfie.
The move comes as global pressure mounts to protect children from adult content, with countries like Australia pushing strict under-16 bans. AI might help keep kids safer online but it also quietly raises the question of how much of our digital behavior is now being profiled

Perplexity already has its own AI browser, Comet, but Chrome’s 3+ billion users would be a prize catch. Still, this feels less like a realistic takeover bid and more like a very expensive PR stunt. Sometimes in tech, the headline is the point.
