Instagram has announced that they are implementing AI technology to flag potentially underage users and enforce safety settings. This new feature is being tested in select countries and will use machine learning to analyze user data and determine if the user is under the age of 13. If flagged as underage, the user will be prompted to provide their date of birth and will be limited to certain features and content on the platform.
This move comes after Instagram faced criticism for not doing enough to protect younger users from potential online dangers and exploitation. By using AI, the platform hopes to more accurately identify underage users and provide them with appropriate safety measures.
While some may have concerns about privacy and data collection, Instagram assures that the AI technology will only be used for the purpose of enforcing safety settings and will not gather personal information. This new feature is just one step towards creating a safer online environment for young users on Instagram.’, ‘index’: 0, ‘logprobs’: None, ‘finish_reason’: ‘stop’}]
