No matter how old you are YouTube's AI age verification system should concern you

Earlier today, YouTube began rolling out an AI-powered age estimation model, which they say is part of enhanced protective measures for children under 18. If an account is flagged as potentially belonging to someone under 18, YouTube will add "age-appropriate" protections to it, such as the inability to watch age-restricted content, showing only non-personalized ads, activating "digital well-being tools" such as break and bedtime reminders, and providing privacy prompts when uploading or commenting on videos. And if an account is labeled incorrectly as belonging to a teen, a user must upload a selfie or a picture of a state-issued ID (like a driver's license) or a credit card to continue using the service.
