Amazon will train on Twitch streamers' content by default, unless they opt out
"If this was opt-in, nobody would opt in," Twitch CPO Mike Minton said on a livestream responding to user feedback. "That's honestly the answer."
TL;DR
- Twitch will use creator content to train generative AI models for Amazon.
- Creators are opted in by default, requiring manual opt-out.
- Twitch leadership stated that an opt-in system would result in minimal participation.
- Concerns exist that creators might not be aware their content is being used for AI training.
- Twitch has implemented an opt-out setting for AI training in channel settings.
- Other platforms like Meta also use public content for AI model training.
