According to Google News, Twitch is now using user content to train Amazon AI models, with the option to opt out reportedly hidden. This development has been confirmed by multiple sources, including Kotaku and Ars Technica. The change in policy has significant implications for Twitch streamers and their content.
As reported by Ars Technica, Twitch content has been used to train Amazon AI for years, but the ability for users to opt out is a relatively new development. According to TechCrunch, Amazon will train on Twitch streamers' content by default, unless they explicitly opt out. However, the exact details of this opt-out process are not clearly stated.
This matter is significant because it raises concerns about user privacy and the use of their content for commercial purposes. The fact that the opt-out option is hidden may further exacerbate these concerns.
