聊天机器人初创公司Character.AI本周早些时候申请破产后，其许多员工将有机会在迪士尼就业。
After chatbot startup Character.AI filed for bankruptcy earlier this week, many of its employees will have the opportunity to take jobs at Disney.
Character.AI的前首席执行官卡兰迪普·阿南德最近成为这家娱乐巨头的首位首席技术官，而该初创公司此前曾表示，迪士尼已同意以2000万美元收购其部分资产。
Character.AI’s former CEO Karandeep Anand recently became the entertainment giant’s first CTO, and the startup previously said that Disney had agreed to acquire some of its assets for $20 million.
彭博社发现的一份法律文件披露了Character.AI与迪士尼协议的更多细节，迪士尼同意向至少60名Character.AI员工——即大部分员工——发出录用通知，预计年薪总额为6000万美元。
A legal filing spotted by Bloomberg revealed more details about the agreement between Character.AI and Disney, with Disney agreeing to make employment offers to at least 60 Character.AI employees — the majority of the workforce — paying them an estimated $60 million in annual compensation.
该文件还称，被迪士尼录用的Character.AI员工中“绝大多数”已接受工作。但这是一份“抢先标书”，因此另一家公司可能会提出更高报价。
The filing also says that the “vast majority” of Character.AI employees who were offered jobs at Disney accepted them. However, this is a stalking horse bid, so another company could come forward with a higher offer.
该文件称，尽管Character.AI拥有“庞大且活跃的用户群”，但其发展受到高成本以及“潜在诉讼相关负债和监管介入”的阻碍。（该公司曾被一名14岁男孩的母亲起诉，该母亲称其儿子在自杀前沉迷于Character.AI的一款聊天机器人；该公司还因儿童安全问题面临政府调查。）
The filing says that despite its “large and engaged user base,” Character.AI has been hobbled by high costs and “potential litigation-related liabilities and regulatory engagement.” (The company was sued by the mother of a 14-year-old boy who said her son became obsessed with one of Character.AI’s chatbots before committing suicide; it also faces government investigations over child safety concerns.)
