Zhitong Finance APP has learned, according to sources, that Amazon (AMZN.US) is in talks to acquire the artificial intelligence startup Decart AI, with the deal potentially valued at around $7 billion, The Wall Street Journal reported.
According to sources, if negotiations do not fall through, the acquisition could be completed very soon.
