Meta's AI age-check goes global: Can it protect teens? Share Meta's AI age-check goes global: Can it protect teens? on social media Meta has rolled out artificial intelligence (AI)-powered age-estimation technology worldwide in an effort to better detect teenage users who signed up for its social media platforms with an adult's birth date. The world's largest social media company announced the change on Monday, saying that millions more young people worldwide would be placed in its Teen Accounts following the implementation of the new technology amid concerns that its platforms have failed to protect teenagers. They keep the account private by default, limit content types, and prevent strangers from sending direct messages (DMs) to teenage account holders. Parents can also supervise Teen Accounts.
