Meta has announced it will use artificial intelligence (AI) to verify the age of teenage users on Instagram, preventing users from misrepresenting their age. This measure aims to enhance the online safety of teenagers, ensuring they use social media in a protected environment. Meta stated that once the system detects an account suspected of belonging to a teenager, even if the user has entered an adult birthday, the system will automatically place it in "teen account" mode. Instagram reportedly implemented this last year.

In today's digital age, the behavior of teenagers 'aging up' in the online world has become a tricky issue. To address this challenge, Instagram is developing a groundbreaking AI age verification technology aimed at more accurately identifying users aged 13 to 17 and integrating them into a dedicated teen account management system. The core of this technology lies in the artificial intelligence system independently developed by Meta (Instagram's parent company). If this system can accurately identify adult users, it will greatly enhance the platform's security and user experience.
