Gate News message, April 21 — Alipay has launched an AI agent payment service in Hangzhou that enables OpenClaw-type AI agents to make purchases and process payments on a user’s behalf. The feature requires users to enable it, verify their identity, and approve each transaction, with risk controls and compensation mechanisms in place.
Alipay AI Pay has been preinstalled on Alibaba Cloud’s JVS Claw and rolled out on Ant Group Digital Technologies’ DTClaw. By February 2026, the service reached 100 million users and processed over 120 million transactions.
The launch builds on Alipay’s Agentic Commerce Trust Protocol, an open technical framework introduced in January 2026 that enables secure interactions between AI agents and service platforms including ecommerce and food delivery services. The protocol allows merchants to link AI-native applications to multiple AI agents through a single integration.

AI Agents can already independently recreate complex academic papers: Mollick says most errors come from human original text rather than AI
Mollick points out that publicly available methods and data can allow AI agents to reproduce complex research without the original paper and code; if the reproduction does not match the original paper, it is usually due to errors in the paper’s own data processing or overextension of the conclusions, rather than the AI. Claude first reproduces the paper, and then GPT‑5 Pro cross-validates it; most attempts succeed, but they are blocked when the data is too large or when there are issues with the replication data. This trend greatly reduces labor costs, making reproduction a widely actionable form of verification, and it also raises institutional challenges for peer review and governance, with government governance tools or becoming a key issue.
