X wants to use his own Xai tools Check the age of the userTo comply with the recently established regulations in the UK, where the platform is now experimenting with a new, in-stream selfie verification process, which will then ensure that only approved adults have access to sensitive content.
Under the UK’s Online Safety ActAll social media platforms and search services must implement measures Prevent children from having access to harmful and age -oriented content. It is therefore a requirement that all platforms implement a form of age control, to protect young people against potentially harmful exposure in their apps.
And while X has against the Regulationsay it Incalence on free speech, it now seems to have admitted that it must be in one way or another. And with other regions that consider similar limitations, it will most likely have to implement a form of age control, even if it can successfully challenge the British account.
X actually took the first steps to activate this at the end of last month, by shooting a series of new AGe assurance measuresIncluding cross -control -account holder info and x premium subscription status.
Inside, X also noted that it would soon add:
- Estimate of the face age: Users can upload a live selfie that will be used to estimate their age through our artificial intelligence systems.
- ID verification: Users can submit an ID issued by the government, which will be used to estimate their age through our artificial intelligence systems.
It now takes steps to make the first element possible, although unlike Meta, which has outsourced this to an age verification provider of third parties, X wants to use his own AI tools to measure users of images users.
As you can see in these sample screens, posted by @weak_12 (And X Daily News), X builds a native selfie process for its age checks, in which it also states that X and Xai will use your selfie image for checking age.
Another screen shows that his age control system is driven by grok.
How good X’s systems are to determine age, we don’t know, but X seems to be sure that it will be able to meet the requirements of the new law by implementing its own age verification process.
But many users have found ways here in other apps.
As reported by Engadget Last week:
‘Savvy Internet users already circumvent the age controls by one VPNprovision high -quality selfie From Videoga Kakters. “
Yes, there seem to be a few mistakes in the process. And this is based on age verification systems of third parties that are specifically built for this purpose, so I cannot imagine that X’s Grok tool will be better at this.
He further underlines the need for an approved, universal age control process, with which all platforms are measured according to the same standard, in contrast to each its own variable approach.
Because it looks now, it cannot see how this will be legally enforceable, especially if a platform is able to prove that a better brought competitor has an advantage to meet these requirements.
There must be a single system that is harvested by the government that is then provided to the platforms to guarantee compliance. Otherwise it will not work, and I have even more confidence to say that the Xai system will not be watertight.
But it will probably meet the standards, and that some children can prevent it from trying.
Maybe that is a victory, but it feels like half a size.
