About 300 Boston Dynamics employees protest ICE robot dogs deal
Roughly 300 Boston Dynamics staff are protesting a $1.3 million ICE robot dogs deal, but leadership is standing by the sale. About 300 employees from Boston Dynamics are protesting against the $1.3 million order for four modified Spot robots by ICE, arguing that the robots will not be used in law enforcement. The company insists these robots will only be used for detentions or deportations, and that if ICE violates its terms of sale, it would void the warranty, refuse software updates and end the license. The protest comes after Boston Dynamics announced a $100 million robotics and AI center in Waltham, Massachusetts. The petition, signed by employees, argues that the deal could cost the company and make hiring harder.
