Hub AI in practice

Artificial Intelligence is present in everyday life – from “googling” to facial recognition to vacuum cleaner robots. AI tools are becoming more and more elaborate and support people and companies more effectively in their tasks, such as generating graphics, texting or coding, or interpreting large amounts of data.

What AI tools are there, how do they work, how do they help in our everyday world – and how do they change our lives? These are the questions we address in our Content Hub Artificial Intelligence in Practice.

YouTube is rolling out an AI-powered age estimation system in the US that will try to determine users' ages based on factors like account activity and account lifespan—regardless of what users claim.

The new system is designed to identify teens who have registered as adults and automatically apply protection measures such as ad restrictions, screen time reminders, and content filters. The move comes as lawmakers ramp up pressure on big tech: More than a dozen states, including Texas, Utah, and Florida, have introduced or passed laws requiring age verification or parental consent for social media use.

YouTube's approach relies on technical solutions rather than requiring users to actively provide proof of age. The result is a balancing act between privacy, child safety, and business interests—one that will also have to contend with Europe's Digital Services Act, GDPR, and the EU AI Act.

Google is rolling out AI-powered shopping summaries in Chrome for users in the US. When you click the icon next to a website address, a pop-up appears with details about the reliability and quality of online stores - including information on product quality, pricing, customer service, and return policies. The feature pulls data from review partners like Trustpilot, Yotpo, and Reseller Ratings. The summaries are currently available only in English and limited to the desktop version. Google has not shared any information about a mobile rollout.

Google is expanding its "AI Mode" to the UK, following launches in the US and India. The new feature appears as an extra tab in Google Search and in the Google app for Android and iOS, letting users ask complex questions via text, voice, or image and get AI-generated answers with additional links. AI Mode runs on a customized version of Gemini 2.5 and uses query fan-out techniques to break down questions into smaller subtopics, searching them all at once.

Google says AI Mode should result in a "greater diversity" of visited websites—a phrase that sidesteps the more important effect: less traffic flowing to the open web. Even the "light" version, called AI Overviews, has already led to a sharp drop in web clicks.

Starting August 28, 2025, Anthropic will roll out new weekly usage limits for Claude subscribers. Alongside the existing 5-hour limit - which resets every five hours - users will face two additional restrictions: a general weekly cap for all models and a separate weekly limit for Claude Opus 4. Both reset every seven days.

For Claude Sonnet 4, Anthropic estimates weekly usage will fall between 40 and 80 hours, depending on project size and settings like auto-accept mode. Users running multiple Claude Code instances at once will hit the new limits sooner.

Anthropic says fewer than five percent of users will be affected. The company cites abuse prevention - including account sharing and continuous use - as well as overall system performance as reasons for the change.
