Anthropic restricts Claude access to users 18 and older

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Anthropic has restricted access to its consumer AI product, Claude, to individuals aged 18 and above. Users will be required to verify their age during account setup or if the system detects potential underage activity. Anthropic is partnering with Yoti, a third-party age verification service, which offers methods like facial age estimation or ID verification, with user data being deleted by Yoti after the check.
