| Ars Technica - All content | TWITCH CONTENT HAS TRAINED AMAZON AI FOR YEARS, BUT USERS CAN OPT OUT NOW | 2 hrs ago |
WHAT HAPPENED
Amazon, through its Twitch streaming platform, confirmed that user‑generated content has long been used to train its generative AI models. On Monday it announced a new feature that lets streamers opt out of having their videos and chat logs used in future AI training.
According to Ars Technica, Twitch states that content "may be used for future Gen AI model improvements." TechCrunch reports that Amazon will train on Twitch streamers’ content by default, unless users elect to opt out. The company has not yet disclosed the technical scope of the data set or the specific AI models that will benefit from the new opt‑out option.
The move follows growing scrutiny over how big tech companies leverage user content to refine artificial‑intelligence systems. Giving creators a clear opt‑out mechanism is seen as a response to privacy concerns and regulatory pressure.
- Amazon uses Twitch content to train generative AI models by default.
