The creators of Roblox add a new video selfie safety feature, which will reportedly be powered by AI and help confirm the user’s age.
Roblox has announced new security features, including an AI-powered system that will focus on the age verification of minors between the ages of 13 and 17. This is the latest move by the company to create a safer space for children on Roblox, as its inability to do so has been frequently criticized in recent years.
With an average of over 77.7 million daily users, Roblox is one of the most popular games ever created, and is especially beloved by children. According to recent research, 40% of all Roblox players are 12 years or younger, and the prevalence of young users has led authorities to call on Roblox to improve its protection for children against online predators in the past.
Now, Roblox has announced a new set of features that aim to protect teenagers on the platform.
