Instagram wants to control the age of users using artificial intelligence

Instagram լուսանկար photo և video sharing platform announced on Thursday that it is testing new ways to check its users’ birthdays, in particular through artificial intelligence, which assesses age through face recognition.

The social network, which is part of the Meta group (also the parent company of Facebook, WhatsApp և Messenger), has merged with the British Yoti, which is developing an algorithm for recognizing facial features.

In particular, underage Instagram users living in the US who want to reach the age of 18’s should justify their approach by shooting their փոխանց video by posting it to Meta. The passage will then be analyzed by Yoti algorithm to determine the age before deletion.

Seven says his instrument error limit is about 1.5 years for 13-19 year olds. The figures provided by the company show more inaccuracies for women մարդկանց people with dark skin color. The start-up company guarantees that its technology does not allow in any way to identify the subject or recover personal data.

Instagram is accused of harming teenagers

Another option explored by Instagram was to ask three of its contacts (all of whom must be adults) to confirm the age specified in the app. Young users have already had հնարավորություն the opportunity to provide an ID (destroyed within 30 days) to prove their age.

The minimum age for creating an Instagram account is 13, but many minors bypass this legal limit by lying about their date of birth.

Since 2021, the platform has required all of its users to be notified of their birthdays, asking them to confirm their age so that they can access certain content that is inappropriate for a very young audience. It also introduced various parental control tools, including the ability to limit screen time or schedule breaks.

These devices mark the evolution of Instagram Discourse, which previously believed that it was not responsible for age verification. Instagram was shocked in 2021 by the discovery of former Facebook employee Francis Haugen, who leaked documents showing that the network’s management was aware of the app’s mental health risks to minors.
