Robotic companies such as Boston Dynamics promise not to make war robots
Concerns about misuse of robots made by Boston Dynamics and similar companies continue to expand. To prevent the emergence of killer robots, some robotics companies have published an open letter pledging not to weaponize robots and imploring users not to do the same.
Last October, Ghost Robotics showed off a robotic dog with a sniper rifle mounted on its back. Another demonstration video circulated on social media earlier this year showed a quadruped robot carrying an assault rifle on its back and firing at targets on a range, combining the robot with lethal weapons.
Therefore, Boston Dynamics, along with a series of robotics companies such as Agility Robotics and ANYbotics, recently expressed their concerns about the possibility of robotics being used in warfare. In an open letter to the industry, they said that advanced commercial robots are becoming more affordable and accessible, and their potential for abuse is increasing. “We believe that adding weapons to remotely or autonomously operating robots, widely available to the public, and capable of navigating previously inaccessible places where people live and work presents new risks of injury and serious Ethical issues.” (Source: IT House)
