Twitch streamers can now refuse to let Amazon train its genAI models on their content
There’s now an opt-out toggle for something that should have been opt-in to begin with. Twitch has updated its account settings to let streamers opt out of letting Amazon (Twitch's parent) train generative AI models on their content.
AI Summary
Twitch has added an opt‑out toggle to its account settings that lets streamers prevent Amazon from using their content to train generative‑AI models. The feature was previously enabled automatically, meaning many creators may have unknowingly allowed their streams to be used for AI training. Streamers can now disable this setting if they oppose generative‑AI or do not want Amazon to exploit their labor. The change gives creators control over how their content is used by the platform’s parent company.
