Claude 仅限 18 岁及以上用户使用。为确保合规，我们利用安全系统检测潜在的未成年人活动。若账户被标记，用户必须通过年龄验证才能恢复访问权限。我们与安全第三方平台 **Yoti** 合作进行验证。用户可选择以下三种方式之一：面部年龄估算（自拍）、上传身份证件（如护照或驾驶执照），或使用 Yoti Digital ID 应用程序。隐私至上：Yoti 符合 SOC2 标准，并在验证过程结束后立即删除所有提交的图像和个人数据。Anthropic 绝不会查看或存储您的身份证件或照片；我们仅会收到简单的“通过/失败”通知，以确认您的使用资格。

此次讨论反映了 Hacker News 上关于 Anthropic 为其 AI 平台实施年龄验证（通过 Yoti）所引发的两极化争论。 **核心观点：** * **支持限制派：** 许多人认为 AI 公司优先考虑的是规避法律责任。通过排除未成年人，他们可以避免潜在的监管处罚（如 COPPA 或加州的 SB-1119），以及因 AI 诱导伤害（例如鼓励自残或提供不当心理健康建议）而引发的舆论风波。 * **怀疑与隐私派：** 大量用户将其视为“合规表演”或变相的“身份搜集”。批评者担心，即便通过第三方，要求提供政府签发的身份证件或生物识别数据也会带来巨大的安全风险，并提到了近期此类验证服务发生的高调数据泄露事件。 * **发展与自由派：** 许多评论者（包括家长）认为，限制青少年使用大语言模型（LLM）是有害的。他们将 AI 视为一种培养创造力、编程技能和智力发展的“博学”工具，并将其比作早期的互联网或公共图书馆。他们认为，“保护儿童”往往是推行渐进式极权主义的借口，孩子的使用权限应由家长而非企业或国家来管理。目前的共识是，尽管诉讼风险使这成为 Anthropic 合理的商业举措，但这正在推动一场转向本地部署、开放权重 AI 模型的广泛运动，以此作为规避企业和政府监控的一种方式。

原文

Claude, our consumer product, is only available to people over 18 years. You’ll need to confirm you’re 18 or over while setting up an account. When we detect signals that you may be under 18, we'll ask you to verify your age before you can continue using Claude.

How this works

We have safety systems in place to detect if people under 18 may be using Claude and we’ll disable accounts based on indicators of minor activity.

You’ll have the option to verify your age using Yoti, a third-party age verification platform. A link for verification will be provided in the notification email. If you pass the age verification process, your account will be reinstated.

Accepted age verification methods

Yoti offers several ways to confirm you're 18 or over. You can choose whichever works best for you:

Facial age estimation: Take a selfie and Yoti's technology estimates your age. No ID document needed.
ID verification: Take a photo of your ID (such as a passport, driving license, or national ID card) and upload it from your device. See Yoti's full list of supported documents for country-specific options.
Yoti’s Digital ID app: If you already have the Yoti app, share a verified "over 18" attribute from it.

How we protect your data

Yoti is an independently audited age verification provider for SOC2 compliance. Your selfie, document images, and any personal data are deleted by Yoti as soon as your age is checked. Anthropic never sees your ID or image; we receive only a pass/fail result and do not process or store any personal data from the verification.
