Amazon will train on Twitch streamers’ content by default, unless they opt out
Wednesday, August 12, 2026
Amazon announced it will use Twitch streamers' content to train artificial intelligence models by default, with streamers able to opt out of the practice. Twitch Chief Product Officer Mike Minton said during a livestream that "if this was opt-in, nobody would opt in." The opt-out option allows creators to disable AI training on their channels through account settings. Amazon did not specify which AI models would be trained on the content or provide details on compensation for creators whose content is used.
