Meta will globally promote AI age estimation technology, covering more teenage users

Meta announces plans to globally promote AI age estimation technology, which will cover millions of teenage users on Instagram, even if their birth date indicates they are adults. This technology will assist in determining users' actual age and has been rolled out to Facebook. Threads plans to start its global rollout later this year. Meta faces multiple lawsuits over alleged harm to teenagers on its platforms, and in August this year, it reached a settlement with almost all U.S. states and territories, with the total amount of the agreement reaching up to $18 billion.
