AI Summary— plain English for professionals
# Meta Using AI to Spot Underage Users From Their Photos Meta is testing new AI technology that analyzes photos to guess whether someone is underage by looking at physical features like height and bone structure. The company is currently running this system in a few countries but plans to expand it more widely, likely to catch people who lie about their age when signing up. This move is aimed at protecting children on Meta's platforms, though it raises questions about how accurate such physical analysis actually is.
