Character.ai Limits AI Chat Access for Underage Users
Character.ai, a platform that allows users to create and interact with custom chatbots, will restrict access to open chats for underage users as part of a new safety policy.
The policy, set to take effect on November 25, 2025, will limit the amount of time underage users can spend chatting with AI, with a complete ban by late November.
- Starting October 30, Character.ai began reducing chat time for minors from two hours a day.
- A new "safe zone" section will feature approved chatbots suitable for younger audiences.
- The company will introduce an age verification system in collaboration with Persona, a digital identity verification service.
No statement from the project team on the reasoning behind the new policy was provided.
