Now, we have to talk about Twitch.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to exclude our channel from Amazon\u2019s AI training<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twitch has decided to put the setting in our account\u2019s security settings. The process takes only a few seconds. Here are the steps:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Open the Twitch page and sign in.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Tap our profile picture and go to <em>Settings<\/em>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We open the <em>Security and Privacy<\/em> section.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Scroll down to the <em>Training for Generative AI<\/em> section.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Disable <em>Allow your channel content to train generative AI content models at Amazon<\/em>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Done. With this setting, our livestreams and the rest of our channel content <strong>are excluded from future training<\/strong> for Amazon\u2019s generative models. Note the word \u201cfuture\u201d here. Of course, this setting is independent of various AI-assisted features, such as AutoMod or recommendations.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon has been training its AI with the videos we publish on Twitch for years.
