迪士尼任命Character.AI前CEO为首任首席技术官
迪士尼近日宣布，任命Karandeep Anand为公司首任首席技术官（CTO）。Anand此前担任AI公司Character.AI的首席执行官。履新后，他将负责迪士尼的企业技术、数据及AI平台，并带领部分Character.AI技术人员一同加入迪士尼。
迪士尼首席执行官Josh D'Amaro在声明中表示，Anand在基础设施、消费技术和AI领域拥有丰富经验，将帮助迪士尼在叙事、创意与技术融合方面推进其战略。D'Amaro自2026年2月出任CEO以来，一直强调迪士尼作为科技公司的能力，将Disney+流媒体服务置于未来核心。此次任命也被视为这一方向的延伸。
值得注意的是，迪士尼曾在2025年9月向Character.AI发出停止函，称其平台提供基于迪士尼角色的聊天机器人，并认为对儿童有害。不过，迪士尼随后在2025年12月与OpenAI达成协议，授权其角色用于Sora应用。分析认为，迪士尼更看重Anand在AI领域的经验，而非过去的纠纷。
