Google is introducing new features aimed at protecting children and teens online, including a machine learning model to estimate user age and improve age-appropriateness. The company also announced a sensitive content warning feature in Google Messages, offering parental controls for supervised accounts.
Google recently announced new digital products that target kids, teens and parents. From additional family-focused controls to helpful experiences for kids and teens, Google is trying to protect youngsters and give parents control over the content they consume on a regular basis.has in place for under-18 users also includes a new machine learning model that will make it harder for teens to lie about their age.
But that’s not enough since Google has decided to use machine learning to determine the age of a user. The search giantthis week that it plans to start testing a machine learning-based estimation model. The test will be limited to the United States at launch, but Google plans to bring the technology to more countries over time.
In related news, Google announced it’s rolling out a new sensitive content warning feature in Google Messages. This feature is opt-in for adults, but mandatory for kids and teens. It can be managed via Android Settings and features parental controls for supervised accounts.
