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.
