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.
