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.True and besides that, they might just have bugs or inaccuracies that could make them think their owner is a target. Humans are much safer for now.
They’ll have to be instructed and connectable somehow, or how will they know how to follow their charge, or get updates?
I’m not very knowledgeable computer tech wise, but nothing is completely secure or fail safe.
Probably around the same time that we see robot assassins.
I feel like this pretty much answers it.
Police already have those
Possibly never.
Its easier to hack robots than a human brain.
Man, I don’t know… the last few decades have shown humans to be surprisingly easy to “hack”
Different.
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.
You don’t even need any indoctrination. Just compensate them better than everyone else and they’ll give their life for you. That’s the power of money.
Idk but I hope they don’t need a platinum chip
CEOs stay home for safety, communicate through big computer screens… my god it all makes sense
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.
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.
I would think drones are already being used but I don’t think we will see anything independently effective for awhile.

Robots would be much more expensive than just hiring a professional anyway
Maybe people should just not go around killing other people for fun.
Thinking this was fun for anyone involved is an insane take.
