Twitch streamers can now opt out from training Amazon’s AI
Twitch has announced the introduction of an opt-out feature for streamers, enabling them to withdraw their content from being utilized in training Amazon’s generative AI models. By opting out, streamers can ensure that materials such as streams, clips, and text on their channels are excluded from future AI training processes. Significantly, while opting out, streamers can continue to leverage other AI-supported functionalities that enhance community engagement and safety. However, it's important to note that participation in chat interactions on other channels may still be subject to the preferences of those channel owners regarding AI training.
