If the AI falsely identifies your age, and you can't prove otherwise, the restrictions won't be removed. AI age verification is coming to YouTube, and it's almost certainly going to be a frustrating process for some people.

YouTube is going to start relying on AI to determine whether or not an account belongs to a teen or an adult, and take actions as a result. In a recent blog post, YouTube announced machine learning would "interpret a variety of signals that help us to determine whether a user is over or under 18".

YouTube will start using machine learning to determine whether viewers should be on a teen account. The company said it plans to start using this AI application on a subset of US users in the coming weeks for a trial before rolling it out to the rest of the market.
