Chai AI Implements Native Age Verification via Apple and Google

Chai AI is integrating native Apple and Google APIs to strengthen its 18+ age requirement through secure, OS-level verification.

Chai AI announced plans to implement native age verification systems utilizing official APIs from Apple and Google. The phased rollout intends to strengthen the platform's 18+ age requirement, moving away from a reliance on app store ratings and user self-attestation.

Under the new system, users can verify their age through secure, OS-level APIs, which eliminates the need for users to upload sensitive identity documents directly to company servers. This transition aims to enhance user safety and privacy during the verification process.

In regions where these native APIs are unavailable, the company may require users to maintain an active subscription. This requirement serves as an alternative layer of verification to ensure age-appropriate access to the conversational AI platform.
