TL;DR
- OpenAI has announced the rollout of an age prediction tool on ChatGPT consumer plans.
- If the tool determines that you’re under the age of 18, extra protections will be placed on your account to reduce exposure to inappropriate content.
- Anyone who is incorrectly placed in the under-18 category will have to verify their age with a selfie.
Since last year, YouTube has been cracking down on non-age-verified accounts. Although the goal is to protect the platform’s youngest viewers, the age-prediction system YouTube deployed has wrongly ensnared countless accounts owned by adults. If you’re tagged by the system, you can restore full access to your account, but only if you provide proof of your age first. Now OpenAI is following YouTube’s lead and rolling its own age-prediction system for ChatGPT accounts.
