Roblox is implementing an enhanced age verification system starting December 2025, requiring AI-powered facial age-estimation verification in Australia, New Zealand, and the Netherlands before a global rollout in January 2026. CEO David Baszucki described the system as potentially setting a gold standard for online safety, while Chief Security Officer Matt Kaufman highlighted its reliable age estimation technology with options for users to appeal. The system will sort users into six age groups, control communication within similar age brackets, and support parental controls as part of broader child safety measures amid ongoing scrutiny and lawsuits.
