In a nutshell: Roblox is unveiling an artificial intelligence system it claims can detect early signs of potential child exploitation in online chats, a move that comes amid mounting criticism and legal challenges over the platform's safety practices.

Roblox is starting to roll out the mandatory age checks that will require all of its users to submit an ID or scan their face in order to access the platform's chat features.

Parents can view and manage all of their child's connections to ensure they are only connected with individuals they know and trust in real life. Furthermore, parents can adjust their child's profile visibility so that only Connections can view when their child is on Roblox and which game they are currently playing.
