Twitch is Mining Peoples' Streams to Train Amazon's AI
Twitch will train Amazon's AI models on streamers' content by default, requiring users to manually opt out in security settings.
Twitch announced a setting that lets streamers opt out of having their channel content train Amazon's generative AI models, confirming about a week of rumors. The toggle, labeled 'Allow your channel content to train generative AI content models at Amazon,' is opt-out rather than opt-in and sits at the bottom of the security settings page. Critics note many streamers may never learn of the change or find the buried setting, sweeping their content into Amazon's training data by default.
- All users are opted in to AI training by default
- Opt-out is buried at the bottom of the security settings page
- Announcement followed roughly a week of circulating rumors
