Twitch streamer Warren Pandiscia has filed a lawsuit against Amazon, claiming that the tech giant used his video streams to train AI products without his consent or compensation. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleges that Amazon collected video data from Twitch streams for at least two years before updating its terms of service to address AI data use.
Pandiscia argues that Amazon began this data collection before the company introduced an opt-out option for creators. The lawsuit raises questions about how platforms like Twitch and YouTube use uploaded content for AI training, as well as issues related to copyright and data rights. The case highlights the complex relationship between platforms, creators, and AI developers, and the ongoing debate over the use of copyrighted material for AI training.
