You can use makeup and let the AI think whatever age you are aiming for. It's not perfectly predictable but I haven't found any age AI that doesn't rank me from underage to old depending on what I aim for.

My guess is videos would work much better. But photos definitely don't yet.

My understanding is currently they do not vet user age. How could they? There are a few billion users. Even among different ethnicities people look younger or older depending on the society they group in. However, I was looking at this from a "confidence score" perspective. If it's an open secret that employees do nothing, throw AI at it to flat likely-to-be-underage users. Then throw what portion of employees you can at that effort, rather than vetting ~2 billion users.
