Background & analysis
A judge said on Friday that Character Technologies should hire a privacy ombudsman to assess whether its artificial intelligence platform is harmful to children, Bloomberg reported on October 31, 2026. The remark was made during a bankruptcy court hearing and is tied to Character Technologies' plan to license some of its technology to Walt Disney Co., with the court directing the company to bring in independent oversight on child safety before that deal proceeds. The reports available so far do not specify what standards the privacy ombudsman would apply, how long an assessment would take, or how the requirement would affect the timing or terms of the technology licensing arrangement with Disney. Further developments in the bankruptcy proceeding would be needed to clarify how the judge's directive will be implemented.
