The article also states that this system of age verification is already in place. Have you been asked to provide ID yet? No? Then you're fine.

Again, you should read the article.

YouTube uses a pretty wide variety of signals from across your Google account, including the age of your account, the types of searches you’re making, the types of videos you’re watching, and which apps you’ve downloaded, to make this estimation.

Account age is one factor that will be considered. Who's to say their AI won't screw up weights for the other factors and decide that someone is a child because they primarily let their kids use their account (bad practice, but not unheard of from stressed parents)? What happens when you aren't a youtuber with an audience that can get the attention of actual human beings?

Google has already made AI-related errors with moderating youtube. I will trust what they say after it's been proven.
