   Twitch enables default AI training for creator content

   Twitch has implemented a Training for Generative AI setting that allows Amazon to use creator content for AI model training by default. Users must manually opt out through their creator settings to prevent their content from being used. This development mirrors a broader trend where music artists and songwriters must decide whether to accept AI deals brokered by their publishers and labels.

   Why it matters

   Amazon owns Twitch and is integrating user-generated content into its generative AI ecosystem. This shift highlights a growing tension between platform owners and creators over data ownership.

   What is confirmed

   • Twitch users can find a Training for Generative AI option in creator settings.
   • The Training for Generative AI setting is enabled by default.

   Still unconfirmed

   • Music artists and songwriters are currently deciding whether to opt in or out of generative AI deals made by labels and publishers.
