Description

Google took action this week to better protect children from harmful content on YouTube; announcing they're using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze users' behavior to determine whether they're under the age of 18.

Like Meta did a few months ago on Instagram; they will restrict that user from viewing what they believe is age-inappropriate content, and will also disable personalized advertising.

If an adult believes they have been incorrectly identified as a minor; they can prove their age by providing a credit card or government ID.

In other tech news this week, we're noting the end of an era, as the venerable old web portal and online service provider most closely identified with the early internet era–AOL–is discontinuing dial-up internet service.

To find out more; I had a conversation with former CNET Editor, and CBS News Tech Contributor, Ian Sherr:
