Link Index for Age Estimation 2025

01/20/25

Report Overview

Age estimation predicts a user’s age using passive signals like device data, behavioral biometrics, and facial or voice analysis, all while preserving privacy and avoiding intrusive verification processes. This innovative approach enables industries like social media, gaming, streaming, and e-commerce to deliver safer, compliant, and user-friendly digital experiences.

However, implementing effective age estimation comes with significant challenges. Deepfakes and synthetic identities are becoming increasingly sophisticated, testing the reliability of current systems and heightening fraud risks. Many models also lack diverse training data, leading to inaccuracies across critical demographics, which undermines inclusivity and fairness. At the same time, organizations face mounting regulatory uncertainty as they struggle to align with evolving standards such as GDPR and the UK’s Age Appropriate Design Code (AADC).

Despite these obstacles, innovations such as real-time audience segmentation, cross-device identity graphing, and AI-driven analytics are driving better outcomes. These technologies enhance accuracy, scalability, and privacy preservation while reducing friction for users.

The Link Index™ for Age Estimation 2025 bridges the gap between these challenges and solutions, offering a definitive guide to the vendors and technologies leading the way.
