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 underage users from two hours a day.
- A new "safe zone" section will feature approved chatbots suitable for younger audiences.
- An age verification system will be introduced in collaboration with Persona, a digital identity verification service.
Minors will soon lose open access to chatbots on the platform.
