"We want to be clear: this is not facial recognition. Our AI looks at general themes and visual cues, for example height or bone structure, to estimate someone's general age; it does not identify the specific person in the image."
"By combining these visual insights with our analysis of text and interactions, we can significantly increase the number of underage accounts we identify and remove."
"If Meta determines that a person may be underage, it will deactivate their account, and the user will need to prove their age using the company's age verification process in order to prevent their account from being deleted."
"The announcement comes weeks after a New Mexico jury ordered Meta to pay $375 million in civil penalties for misleading consumers about the safety of its platforms and putting children at risk."
Meta will implement AI technology to scan photos and videos for visual clues to determine if users are under 13. This includes analyzing height and bone structure without using facial recognition. The system aims to enhance the identification and removal of underage accounts by combining visual insights with text analysis. Currently operational in select countries, Meta plans to expand this technology across its platforms. Users identified as potentially underage will have their accounts deactivated until they can verify their age.
