Applied AILow Expectations for US-China AI Talks
Markets are pricing these US–China AI talks as bounded to safety and cybersecurity, not market access or export relief.

Applied AIShopify plans to allow Meta's Muse to complete purchases on behalf of users at Shopify-powered stores via its one-tap checkout service Shop Pay
Letting Muse drive Shop Pay turns Meta’s assistant into a full-funnel commerce agent—discovery, intent, and transaction in one surface.
