Twitch now lets users opt out of Amazon AI training on their streams

TL;DR Summary
Twitch has added an option for users to opt out of Amazon using their streams, VODs, clips, and chat on Twitch to train Amazon’s generative AI models. Previously, users appeared to be auto-enrolled in AI training. Opt-out requires adjusting settings at twitch.tv/settings/security, and opting in can contribute to improvements in AI such as speech-to-text and captions. The move increases user control and transparency, though some users remain skeptical about Amazon leveraging their content for AI development.
