"Activist Investor Urges Disney to Embrace AI for Character Creation and Stock Growth"

Activist investor Blackwells Capital is urging Disney to embrace AI and spatial computing to enhance its shareholder value, proposing the use of AI to create characters and improve park experiences. Disney's board is focused on driving shareholder value through strategies such as restoring cash dividends, increasing dividend payments, and implementing cost-cutting measures. Blackwells' nominee Leah Solivan is advocating for a technology reorganization at Disney, including the introduction of a chief technology officer and the use of AI tools for character creation and park management. Disney is opposing the nomination of Blackwells' and Trian Group's nominees for its board of directors.
