Roblox must also account for bad actors who try to use fake photos or pictures of another person to evade accurate age estimation. Kaufman said that the combination of video and still imaging helps prevent that. Additionally, the company will deploy fraud checks.

Roblox, under scrutiny for child safety concerns, will require users to verify their age through a selfie or an ID. They'll only be allowed to chat with others in the same age group unless they confirm they know the other person.

To enhance its safety measures, Roblox has become the "first" game platform to require age verification to participate in its in-game chat.

While some experts have expressed caution about the reliability of facial age estimation tools, Matt Kaufman, chief safety officer at Roblox, said that between the ages of about 5 to 25, the system can accurately estimate a person’s age within one or two years.

Roblox users now will be required to undergo a facial recognition check before utilizing the Roblox chat feature for its 150 million daily players.

If Roblox users want to chat on the online gaming platform, they’ll soon have to verify their age by providing a government ID or by letting an artificial intelligence age estimation tool photograph their face.
