Twitch streamers gain control over AI model training data

The opt-out toggle appears under the Security and Privacy tab, though users should note that the setting was enabled by default during initial testing. Amazon clarified that disabling this feature does not exempt creators from all AI-driven processes. Tools intended for platform safety, such as AutoMod, as well as features supporting discovery and monetization, remain active regardless of the user’s choice.

Crucially, individual control over data is limited to one's own channel. If a streamer participates in another creator’s broadcast, the host’s specific privacy preferences dictate whether that chat interaction remains available for Amazon’s machine learning development. While the company maintains that other data usage remains governed by the broader Twitch Privacy Notice, this toggle marks a significant shift in how creators manage their digital footprint against the backdrop of expanding corporate AI initiatives.
