Twitch streamers now have a dedicated switch that keeps their content out of Amazon’s generative AI training runs.
The “Training for Generative AI” toggle in the Security and Privacy tab covers streams, VODs, clips, chat messages, and channel images and text. Flipping it off excludes that material from future training of Amazon models that produce text, audio, images, or video, per Twitch’s documentation.
Two gaps stand out. The setting does not reach backward, so content already absorbed into models before the change stays in. And on someone else’s channel, the channel owner’s choice wins: an opted-out viewer’s chat messages are still governed by the host’s setting.
Other AI features keep running regardless. AutoMod, recommendations, and sponsorship help process content without retaining it for generative training, Twitch says. An FAQ example explains what staying in grants: a streamer’s audio could improve speech-to-text models that sharpen captions across Amazon products.
