Google’s digital mandates: how AI gained the right to spend users’ money
Google introduced the Agent Payments Protocol. An open protocol that for the first time allows artificial intelligence to make payments on behalf of users. While maintaining unprecedented security measures.
This development was created in collaboration with leading financial institutions. It represents a logical extension of existing Agent2Agent and Model Context Protocol standards. Forms a comprehensive ecosystem for safely delegating financial operations to AI.
The protocol’s foundation is the concept of “digital mandate.” A cryptographically protected permission that clearly defines the boundaries of AI agent authority. Available budget, permissible actions and execution conditions.
Users get 2 interaction modes. Synchronous – with real-time confirmation of each purchase. And asynchronous – for automatic task execution within set parameters. For example, ticket purchases when prices drop to a certain level.
The protocol supports a wide spectrum of payment instruments. From traditional bank cards to stable digital currencies.
Special attention is paid to transparency and trust. The entire chain of actions from mandate issuance to payment execution is carefully recorded. Creates irrefutable proof of operation legitimacy.

UBTech will send Walker S2 robots to serve on China's border for $37 million
Chinese company UBTech won a contract for $37 million. And will send humanoid robots Walker S2 to serve on China's border with Vietnam. South China Morning Post reports that the robots will interact with tourists and staff, perform logistics operations, inspect cargo and patrol the area. And characteristically — they can independently change their battery.
AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disorders
A joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.
OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAI
Startup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.
