Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) plans to buy at least a million dollars worth of robots from Boston Dynamics, the company that makes the dog-like SPOT robots, with the purpose of improving “officer safety,” according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announcement.
But Boston Dynamics has ethics and won’t do business with ICE, right? Right??
In the past, they held out and said no. I hope they stand by it now.
Don’t hold your breath
The dog will do it for you
Eh… $$$$$ > ethics unfortunately.
Depends on who owns them these days. Last I heard they had changed hands a couple times.
According to Wikipedia, it’s Hyundai at the moment.
Which ICE raided in Alabama last year. Hopefully they remember.
