\"\"\"\"As of today, YouTube<\/a> will begin testing a new artificial intelligence age-verification system to differentiate between adults and minors, based on the kinds of videos that they have been watching. The testing will begin in the U.S.<\/p>\n

The system will only work when viewers are logged into their accounts, and it will make its age assessments regardless of the birth date a user might have entered upon signing up. If the system flags a logged-in viewer as being under 18, YouTube will impose the normal controls and restrictions that the site already uses as a way to prevent minors from watching videos and engaging in other behavior deemed inappropriate for that age. The safeguards include reminders to take a break from the screen, privacy warnings and restrictions on video recommendations.<\/p>\n

People still will be able to watch videos without logging into an account, but that will triggers an automatic block on some content. If the system has inaccurately called out a viewer as a minor, the mistake can be corrected by showing a government-issued identification card, a credit card or a selfie.<\/p>\n

Expect once the kinks are worked out for this to roll out beyond the U.S.<\/p>\n

Her owner hatched her in an incubator in 2011. She says Pearl loves watching TV and enjoys being around the family cat. She doesn’t lay many eggs these days, but did lay one right after the record was announced.
