Caption: Twitch Faces Backlash Over Amazon Training AI on Users' Livestreams. Twitch now allows users to opt out of Amazon using their content to train artificial intelligence models. The platform confirmed streams, clips, images, chats, and channel content can be collected for AI training purposes. The default setting sparked widespread backlash, with users criticizing Amazon for using their creative content without permission. Twitch said users can disable AI training through their channel settings if they prefer not participating. Chief Product Officer Mike Minton admitted most users would not voluntarily agree if participation were optional. Twitch said collected data will not be resold, but users remain concerned about how content is used. Hundreds of viewers criticized the policy during Twitch's livestream, accusing the company of exploiting creators' work. Twitch executives admitted they could not confirm whether user content had already been scraped for training. The controversy highlights growing tensions between AI companies seeking data and creators demanding greater control over content.
