   Character.AI files for bankruptcy, plans to license IP to Disney for $20M

   According to a commentary republished by Huxiu AI, Character.AI filed for voluntary bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on Oct. 12 local time and plans to license part of its intellectual property to Walt Disney for $20 million. The article says the company was valued at $1 billion in its 2023 funding round and claimed more than 200 million registered users, over 20 million monthly actives and 18 million user-created AI characters by the end of 2024. The author argues the collapse stemmed from weak product experience and commercialization rather than a lack of demand for AI companionship, contrasting it with the long-proven character-to-player emotional bonding model of anime games.
