A controversial Bay Area artificial intelligence (AI) startup that’s been linked to teen suicides filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Monday (Oct 12), and a former adversary is already swooping in to collect the scraps.
Character.AI, a chatbot platform with a vast array of characters for conversation, was launched in 2022 by two former Google engineers. But after four years and several lawsuits alleging the platform was dangerous for children, Character.AI is asking the court to help find a buyer. In the meantime, the company announced that it signed a US$20mil (RM82mil) deal with Disney to assist in the transition, and in return, the media giant gets to license some of Character.AI’s tech.

一家与青少年自杀事件有关的、备受争议的湾区人工智能 (AI) 初创公司于周一（10 月 12 日）申请破产保护，而其前竞争对手已经蜂拥而至，企图瓜分剩余资产。
Character.AI 是一个拥有海量角色可供对话的聊天机器人平台，由两位前谷歌工程师于 2022 年创立。然而，四年过去，在经历了数起指控该平台对儿童构成危险的诉讼后，Character.AI 请求法院协助寻找买家。与此同时，该公司宣布已与迪士尼签署了一项价值 2000 万美元（约合 8200 万令吉）的协议，以协助其完成过渡。作为回报，这家媒体巨头将获得 Character.AI 部分技术的授权。
