Would you give an AI agent your credit card? Companies are betting so
Shoppers are already using AI to sort through and compare products before they buy, and now, retailers are looking to adopt autonomous payments. But those involved in processing payments will need to first sort out what happens when AI makes mistakes and take steps to keep bad actors out.

Will you be using your AI agent for payment? Google thinks yes.

Google is rolling out AP2 - an open, shared protocol that provides a common language for secure, compliant transactions between agents and merchants. It supports different payment types–from credit and debit cards to stablecoins and real-time bank transfers. It supports 2 shopping modes: "Real-time purchases" (human present), and "Delegated tasks" (human not present).

AP2 uses "Mandates"—tamper-proof, cryptographically-signed digital contracts that serve as verifiable proof of a user's instructions to establish trust. https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/ai-machine-learning/announcing-agents-to-payments-ap2-protocol #AI #Google #AP2 #Payments #AIPayments #Shopping #PaymentSystems #CreditCard #StableCoins #Crypto #BankTransfers #Cryptography
