Meta has launched a new AI tool 'Adult Classifier' that will verify users' actual ages
AI, Instagram Teen User: If the classifier thinks that the users are under 18 years of age, it will automatically convert them into a "teen account". These accounts have more strict privacy settings, such as filters applied on who can message and what type of content they can see.
Meta has introduced a new amazing feature for its social media platform Instagram. With the help of this feature, now teenagers won't be able to trick Instagram by putting fake age. As we all know, the minimum age to use Instagram is 13 years, children use it by giving wrong information about their age.
Instagram will now use AI to catch this trickery of teenagers. The company has said that now children will not be able to hide their age. Instagram has been under scrutiny, especially for its impact on the mental health of teenagers, and Meta has responded to this by launching a new AI tool "Adult Classifier". The tool aims to verify users' actual ages more accurately.
Using AI to factor in users' online behavior along with other profile information, this tool estimates age. It factors in things that are from who follows the users, and what kind of content they interact with, to commenting on their friends' birthday posts.
It would automatically convert users that the classifier thinks are under 18 to a "teen account." Such accounts have more strict privacy settings, such as filters on who can message them and what type of content they can view.
