Watch: Amazon is using Twitch to train AI - and people aren’t happy

Twitch has been criticised by users after it emerged the popular streaming platform allowed their content to be used to train Amazon's AI models.

Amazon owns Twitch and a setting allowing the US tech giant to take data generated by creators and audiences to train AI is turned on by default.

Users can opt out of that, Twitch said on Wednesday, external, but the announcement sparked a backlash with some users questioning why it was allowed in the first place.
