A streamer has taken a stand against Twitch and Amazon using his content to train AI models. Warren Pandiscia, a streamer based in Connecticut, filed a class action lawsuit earlier this week, as first reported by Courthouse News. The complaint accused Twitch and Amazon of not obtaining licensing or permission before using his Twitch streams and videos as a "dataset necessary to fuel Amazon's AI products." Earlier this month, Twitch Support posted on X that it added an option to opt out of "having your channel content used to train generative AI content models across Amazon." Shortly after, Twitch hosted an episode of its recurring Patch Notes stream where Mike Minton, the company's chief product officer, said "if it was opt-in, nobody would opt in," when asked by a viewer why the Twitch settings for AI training aren't opt-in but instead enabled by default, requiring users to opt out if they don't want to participate.
