Hey, great to be here.

And what an enormous responsibility with 150 million users every day coming to the platform.

We're rolling out what we believe will be the gold standard for the future of Internet safety.

We're the first really major gaming platform to use AI to estimate the age of everyone on the platform who wants to use chat and communicate online.

We're going to start rolling this out in December, and then it should be all rolled out by January.

Basically, on whatever device you're on, take a quick image.

We'll analyze your age with AI, complement it with a bunch of other signals, and use that really to figure out who might you be chatting with to keep the platform more safe.

We're not going to be allowing minors, for example, to communicate with people who are adults.

And we're going to roll it out to everyone on the platform.

Well, I want to highlight things are already working in that we're a very unique platform in that we filter all of the text and communication on our platform.

We don't allow the sharing of images.

We have monitoring for critical harms.

We work very closely with law enforcement.

So I see this as an addition.

to everything we're doing and really to our vision of what we've been calling the gold standard.

But we do estimate over the next few months, we'll know roughly the age of everyone on the platform.

And we'll complement that with some of the other things we do like trusted connections and things like that to constantly build on our innovation.

We've shipped over 100 safety innovations in the last year.

So it's really a continuation of that focus.

There's a bunch of other signals we have in addition to the facial age estimation.
