Twitch streamers can now opt out from training Amazon’s AI
Summary
Twitch has added an opt-out feature that lets streamers prevent their content (streams, videos, chats, and channel text) from being used to train Amazon's generative AI models (AI systems that create new text, audio, images, or video). Other AI features like automatic captions will still work even if you opt out, though chat content on other people's streams is governed by their opt-out settings.
Solution / Mitigation
Users can opt out of generative AI training through Twitch's settings. According to Twitch, 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 Amazon's generative AI model. Note that 'AI-supported' features like captions and safety tools will continue to function after opting out.
