Twitch users can now opt out of allowing their content to be used to train Amazon’s generative AI models. Opting out means that “your streams, VODs, clips, stream chats, and pictures and text on your channel” won’t be used in “future training” of an Amazon AI model “whose purpose is to generate or synthesize text, audio, images, or video,” according to a Twitch support page.
Other “AI-supported” features like captions and safety tools will still function if you opt-out of generative AI training. However, if you participate in a chat on another person’s stream, “their opt-out preferences govern if that chat can be used for training,” Twitch says.
The “Training for Generative AI” toggle is present for me in Twitch’s settings under the Security and Privacy tab. It was toggled on when I found it, and I’ve asked Amazon if that’s the default.
