Boston Dynamics and five other robot makers pledge not to weaponize their robotsBoston Dynamics and other robot companies signed a pledge on Thursday not to make any robots that can harm humans.We believe that adding weapons to robots that are remotely or autonomously operated, widely available to the public, and capable of navigating to previously inaccessible locations where people live and work, raises new risks of harm and serious ethical issues,” they explained.They added that, due to a number of people who have visibly publicized their makeshift efforts to weaponize commercially available robots, they felt an urgency to speak up now and pledge to secure their robots.They did however call on other organizations to aid them in their mission to keep robots safe for humanity.We also call on every organization, developer, researcher, and user in the robotics community to make similar pledges not to build, authorize, support, or enable the attachment of weaponry to such robots,” added the letter."
