Twitch streamers can now opt out from training Amazon's AI

Twitch has introduced a new setting that allows users to opt out of having their content used to train Amazon's generative AI models. The opt-out, found in the Security and Privacy tab, means that your streams, VODs, clips, stream chats, and pictures and text on your channel will not be used in future training of Amazon AI models that generate or synthesize text, audio, images, or video. However, other AI-supported features like captions and safety tools will still function. If you participate in a chat on another person's stream, that streamer's opt-out preference governs whether that chat can be used for training. The toggle was on by default when found, and Amazon has been asked if that is the default setting. The full description notes that turning off the toggle does not opt you out of other uses described in Twitch's Privacy Notice, including AI-supported features like real-time sponsorship assistance, viewer discovery, and community safety tools such as AutoMod.
