据 WSJ 报道，Character.ai 母公司 Character Technologies 在特拉华州申请 Chapter 11 破产保护，并已安排 Disney 作为首轮竞标方。公司希望通过法院监督的拍卖出售大部分或全部资产，预计交易在 12 月前完成。其申请破产前未能化解重大的法律、监管和运营压力，主要是代价高昂的青少年自残诉讼（今年已和解）以及外界对未成年人使用其聊天机器人的审查加剧。

WSJ: Character. ai’s parent filed for Chapter 11 in Delaware and lined up Disney as its opening bidder.
Character Technologies wants to sell most or all of its assets through a court-supervised auction, and expects any sales to close by December.
It filed after failing to steer the business through “significant legal, regulatory and operational headwinds,” chiefly the costly teen self-harm lawsuits (settled this year) and growing scrutiny of how minors used its chatbots.
