Character.AI

Disney has issued a cease and desist letter to AI startup Character.AI over unauthorized use of its copyrighted characters in the chatbot platform. Character.AI, which allows users to interact with AI personas, removed the identified characters. This underscores the growing tension between media companies and AI developers regarding IP rights. Disney is also engaged in litigation against Midjourney over AI-generated content derived from Disney franchises. The legal challenge highlights increasing scrutiny over the legal and ethical boundaries of AI-generated content.
