According to @DeepLearningAI, Google launched Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), an open standard that lets LLM-based agents initiate, authorize, and settle online purchases via credit cards, bank transfers, digital wallets, and cryptocurrency, secured by cryptographically signed mandates that track transactions from intent to payment (source: @DeepLearningAI). According to @DeepLearningAI, AP2 also interoperates with Google’s A2A and Anthropic’s MCP, aligning AI agent workflows with multi-rail checkout flows that explicitly include cryptocurrency support (source: @DeepLearningAI).

According to @DeepLearningAI, Andrew Ng highlights the dangers of brinkmanship between China, the U.S., and Taiwan over chip design and fabrication, signaling supply chain and compute availability risk that traders watch across semiconductor and AI infrastructure exposure.
