    Lawsuit filed

    Warren Pandiscia filed a proposed class action in the US District Court for the Northern District of California on 20 August (No. 3:26-cv-08721) against Twitch Interactive and Amazon.com, alleging the companies used creators' streams, chats and other channel material to train Amazon's generative AI models without contractual permission, consent or compensation, after creators were automatically opted in through a default setting.

    Source excerpt

    • It alleges that Twitch and Amazon used creators' content without the contractual permission, consent or compensation that the plaintiff says was required.
    • The lawsuit arrives just days after Twitch disclosed that channel content could be used to train Amazon's generative AI models. The platform's settings allow creators to opt out, but the training control is enabled by default.
