Chief product officer Mike Minton openly admitted the default exists because an opt-in model would get no takers, and confirmed he wouldn't opt out himself. The opt-out only covers your own channel, not messages sent in other streamers' chats, and it doesn't stop AI use for moderation, ads, or recommendations. Twitch is reported to have been feeding this training pipeline for a couple of years already, and no clarity exists on how the default applies under Europe's stricter consent rules for AI training. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I stop Twitch from using my streams to train Amazon's AI? Go to twitch.tv/settings/security and find the AI training opt-out toggle, which is off by default. Opting out covers your own channel's streams, past broadcasts, clips, chat messages, and channel page content, but it does not stop chat messages you post in other streamers' channels if they haven't opted out themselves. _Streamers weighing privacy trade-offs like this can follow platform policy shifts on daily.dev._ ### Does opting out of Twitch AI training stop all AI features on my channel? No, opting out only stops your content from being used to train new generative AI models. AI still runs for chat moderation, ad selection, and recommendations on Twitch regardless of the training opt-out setting, since that toggle addresses training data collection specifically, not AI features already deployed on the platform. _Developers tracking how platforms scope AI opt-outs can follow this on daily.dev._ ### Why did Twitch make AI training opt-out instead of opt-in? Twitch's chief product officer Mike Minton said opt-in was rejected because nobody would choose to opt in if given the choice. He stated this directly on a livestream, adding he personally supports AI training and would not opt out if he were a streamer, despite the setting only surfacing publicly after a streamer found it and shared a screenshot. _Anyone evaluating dark-pattern defaults in AI data policies can track coverage like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Twitch and Amazon face a class action over livestream AI training](https://daily.dev/posts/twitch-and-amazon-face-a-class-action-over-livestream-ai-training-ejo7lxojd) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Bots may use your private chats to train themselves](https://daily.dev/posts/bots-may-use-your-private-chats-to-train-themselves-akkx3p8t7) · The Register · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [If you don't opt out by Apr 24 GitHub will train on your private repos](https://daily.dev/posts/if-you-don-t-opt-out-by-apr-24-github-will-train-on-your-private-repos-mcohqifko) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#amazon](https://daily.dev/tags/amazon), [#genai](https://daily.dev/tags/genai), [#data-privacy](https://daily.dev/tags/data-privacy), [#ethical-ai](https://daily.dev/tags/ethical-ai), [#twitch](https://daily.dev/tags/twitch) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/twitch-will-train-amazon-s-ai-on-your-streams-unless-you-find-the-setting-3zusrpcn8) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Twitch will train Amazon’s AI on your streams unless you find the setting","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/twitch-will-train-amazon-s-ai-on-your-streams-unless-you-find-the-setting-3zusrpcn8","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/twitch-will-train-amazon-s-ai-on-your-streams-unless-you-find-the-setting-3zusrpcn8"},"datePublished":"2026-08-13T17:45:20.286Z","dateModified":"2026-08-13T17:46:13.390Z","description":"Twitch quietly added a setting that lets streamers opt out of having their streams, clips, chat and channel content used to train Amazon's generative AI...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/30f54eeab9cec2e59a702287918607bb?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/30f54eeab9cec2e59a702287918607bb?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Next Web","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Next Web","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/tnw","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/twitch-will-train-amazon-s-ai-on-your-streams-unless-you-find-the-setting-3zusrpcn8","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"amazon,genai,data-privacy,ethical-ai,twitch","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Next Web","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Twitch will train Amazon’s AI on your streams unless you find the setting"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/twitch-will-train-amazon-s-ai-on-your-streams-unless-you-find-the-setting-3zusrpcn8#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I stop Twitch from using my streams to train Amazon's AI?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Go to twitch.tv/settings/security and find the AI training opt-out toggle, which is off by default.
