Amazon is facing a class-action lawsuit alleging its Twitch platform used streamers’ videos to train AI models without permission or proper compensation. Filed by a Connecticut-based streamer, the complaint is brought on behalf of millions of creators seeking damages. It also asks the court to bar Amazon from continuing the alleged practice. Amazon bought Twitch for nearly $1bn (£740m) in 2014 and has made AI a major focus as it competes with Google, Meta and other tech companies.
