TL;DR Summary

Disney appoints Karandeep Anand, former CEO of Character.AI, as its first chief technology officer to lead enterprise technology and AI/data platforms, signaling a deeper tech-forward strategy for storytelling and operations. Anand may bring Character.AI staff with him, and the move follows Disney’s earlier copyright challenges with AI firms as well as a licensing deal with OpenAI; the company also elevates Adam Smith to Chairman of Direct-to-Consumer to strengthen its tech-enabled business.
