Disney Forces Character.AI to Remove Its Characters

[cryptobro]

Disney has issued a cease-and-desist to Character.AI, forcing the removal of its iconic characters like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Captain America, and Luke Skywalker.

The AI platform allows users to create chatbots, but some have been accused of promoting harmful content, including sexually exploitative material and dangerous advice for minors. Disney says this infringes copyrights and harms its brand.

This is a reminder that intellectual property laws still govern AI content, even in the era of user-generated virtual companions.
