Boston Dynamics refused to create combat robots

The coalition of six robotics companies refused to create or support the use of devices they have developed and software for military purposes.

The coalition pledged not to use its general use devices with increased mobility and the software they created for military purposes, and refused to support other representatives of the industry in this.

The companies also said that they would not allow customers to use platforms purchased from them as a weapon when possible.

“We undertake to study the creation of technological functions that could soften or reduce these risks,” the Alliance added.

However, the group clarified that it does not dispute the existing developments that countries and their government institutions are involved in self -defense and compliance with laws.

Companies called for politicians and other robotics manufacturers to take on similar obligations.

Recall that in December 2021, the Chinese Ambassador for Control of Arms to the UN Lee Song opposed the use of AI for military purposes.

How does the Fed’s

In the same month, The Future of Life Institute released a mini-film call to ban “killer robots” to independently eliminate people.

In June, the UN recorded the first case in history when a combat drone without a direct order from the operator killed a man. In response to this, the organization Human Rights Watch urged to prohibit developing, producing and using autonomous weapons.
