@allin: Should the US allow humanoid robots from China? CEOs: NO. NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES 🛑 Jason: “Under any circumstances should we allow humanoid robotics from China in the United States?” Amanda McMaster: “No. It's not safe, right? We've already heard about leaks that are happening with some of the quadrupeds that you're seeing in United States, and it's being back-channeled back to China. Listen, we have seen what happens if we let China win in the semiconductor space. We can't do that with robotics.” Peter Fankhauser: “We collect very sensitive data. We have ISO certification for cybersecurity, all these topics, right? So that's how we compete.” Jason: “So you might not want to send the nuclear power plant's latest data to the Chinese Communist Party, you're saying?” Fankhauser: “You don't want to have 15 cameras in your critical infrastructure that somebody else controls. That is happening today.” ------------------------------ Thanks to our partners for making this possible!

This is just fear mothering, Boston Dynamics is just trying to avoid foreign competition. The China Boogeyman story is so tired and lame

Boston Dynamics is owned by the Hyundai Motor Group, which holds a controlling and near-total stake in the company. So that's safer than China??

You ask US robotics companies whether Chinese robots should be allowed in the US? Of course they fear the competition.

In short. ban Chinese robots since the US cannot compete in robotics.
Ban Chinese cars since the US cannot compete in auto.
Ban Huawei phones since iPhone cannot compete.
..... and the list goes on.
