Meta will expand use of AI on Instagram to "detect" teenagers more widely

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, will use AI technology more globally to more accurately determine users' ages on Instagram and move minor teenagers to accounts designed for teenagers. The company is already using this technology in the US, the European Union and Brazil. The system assesses the user's age and, if it determines that the user is between 13 and 17 years old, automatically designates their Instagram account as an account for teenagers.
