The platform&#8217;s top content creators have tens of millions of followers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">AI training collection has been turned on by default just as it is on most content services, but Twitch is &#8220;respecting&#8221; users&#8217; wishes to opt out if they prefer, Twitch&#8217;s chief product officer Mike Minton said during a stream on the platform<span class=\"visually-hidden ssrcss-i2z2ig-VisuallyHidden e16en2lz0\">, <!-- -->external<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Asked why data is being collected by default, he said: &#8220;If it&#8217;s opt-in, nobody would opt-in. That&#8217;s the honest answer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Users who remain opted in could have any of their channel content used for training, Minton said, adding that the data collected will not be re-sold to other companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">During the same session, Mary Kish, head of community at Twitch, took viewers through a tutorial on how to disable generative AI training through a user&#8217;s channel settings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Data collection for AI training has become an industry standard, Kish said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;We don&#8217;t expect you to be happy or excited about this. I don&#8217;t expect anyone to react to this favourably,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The stream&#8217;s chat column was flooded with hundreds of comments from users criticising the move.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">One viewer wrote: &#8220;Nobody would opt in because nobody wants to feed AI with our creativity and content.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Another said Twitch had an &#8220;opportunity to set an industry standard&#8221; to push back against data collection for AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It is not clear when Amazon began collecting Twitch users&#8217; data to train its AI models.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Minton said during the stream that he did not know if users&#8217; data had already been scraped for training, adding that he was unsure what Amazon &#8220;has done in terms of model training and what they&#8217;ve used and not used.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
