The updated policy now explicitly states that Twitch uses personal information to test and improve technology, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, and specifically to develop or deploy generative AI models and services. Previously, the policy described data use for content recommendations and service enhancement but did not explicitly disclose AI model training as a stated purpose.
