Instagram has been using AI to determine age for quite some time, but now the social network confirms it’s using the technology to ensure that teens are accessing Instagram via a Teen Account rather than an adult one.Instagram says that it’s taking steps to ensure that its technology is accurate and that it’s correctly placing teens into Teen Accounts. However, in case the company does make a mistake, it’s giving people the option to change their settings.Instagram also announced that it’s going to begin sending notifications to parents that include information about how they can discuss the importance of providing the correct age online with their teens. The platform notes that one of the most important ways parents can make sure their teens are in protected accounts is to check if their account lists their correct birthday. Is the AI technology enough to help protect the teens ?
