Very disturbing piece on what gets shown to young children on YouTube. I don’t see a clear evidence of AI tech in works, but based on the examples shown it could be very well some more sophisticated algorithms, designed to extract profit at scale. If this is so, this would be a very clear example how AI tech can be abused, as a kind of dark pattern to generate money while harming people.
