When can we expect Executives with robot security?
This is a collection of fragmented thoughts brought on by recent events during a long drive. It’s not meant to be “doom and gloom” serious…
Is it correct to expect an uptick in private security firms for executive protection?
Is it correct to assume that some of the ultra rich have their own “private military/force”?
How long until we see executives with some form of robotic security accompanying them?
I can’t tell if we’d expect to see them used in a military capacity first or if the military has too meet redundancy needs first – making it more likely for private ownership first.
I know we’ve seen examples of robodogs on a golf course - but when might an executive be strolling the streets with some form of automated protection?
What might be more realistic near term, or a decade into the future? Hiring soldiers/private-security would still make the most sense?
How safe from hacking would these robotic body guards be?
Assuming they'll be connected to the internet at least sometimes, there would always be software vulnerabilities that could be exploited to change the programming and turn them into robot assassins instead.
You need to constantly bombard a human with propaganda. You cant flip a human around overnight.
A robot can be all good and obedient for its entire existence, then suddenly a small script can turn them to betray the person it's supposed to serve.
If you are able to select a few loyal humans, indoctrinate them from the beginning, and censor them from access to any opposing views, then you are like 99% safe assuming they are professionally trained bodyguards, and you are definitely much safer than with robot bodyguards.
They would have to choose between their mobile phones and electronic warfare protection systems that could possibly stop a drone. Add some security guards and you have some locked down unhappy rich people, which makes me happy.
If you have the money you aren't gonna be getting mall cops, you're gonna be getting retired special forces weapons sargeants and federal agents that hit the mandatory retirement age but still like being busy and active
China has backdoored most of our communications infrastructure. Wouldn't take very long for someone to get in and off another CEO. So, if they're smart, security will always be humans.
