The tech giant is in discussions to inject hundreds of millions into the artificial intelligence (AI) startup to fund its mission to train chatbot models, Reuters reported Friday (Nov. 10), citing sources familiar with the matter.
Character.AI's character-based chatbots have struck a chord with younger users who make up 60% of its web traffic, helping position the company as the maker of a more "fun" AI companion when put up against ChatGPT or even Google's Bard.
It would strengthen an existing collaboration between Google and Character.AI, which uses the former company's cloud services and tensor processing units (TPUs) to train its AI.
