Amazon will train on Twitch streamers’ content by default, unless they opt out

Twitch plans to allow Amazon to use streamers’ content for AI training by default, rather than requiring explicit consent. Twitch CPO Mike Minton said an opt-in approach would fail because most creators would not volunteer their content.

The policy highlights a growing platform strategy: treating user-generated content as a default data asset for AI systems. Expect more scrutiny from creators and regulators as opt-out consent becomes a flashpoint in the AI data economy.
