A security robot was "put to work in San Francisco in an attempt to deter homeless people from forming tent cities." But it had to stop because the City of San Francisco ordered the robot off the sidewalks.
"Knightscope's robots don't fight humans; they use equipment like lasers, cameras, a thermal sensor, and GPS to detect criminal activity and alert the authorities."
"The robot's owner, the San Francisco SPCA, said it has seen fewer tents and car break-ins since it deployed the robot in the city's Mission neighborhood."

Something just a little incongruous about an organization devoted to the humane treatment of animals using a robot to get rid of homeless people.
ReplyDeleteI mean, I know they probably have a good reason, but it still seems a little odd.

The organization already have enough problems on its own.. it's up to the government to help the homeless.. I guess they must have tried several other options before having to pay for surveillance.. who would spend needed money if not in the last case? At least they are trying to do something to get the animals rescued and adopted..
ReplyDeleteMorten Lynge LOL I bet that's what the fearful are thinking..
ReplyDeleteJessica Meyer No, it is what the realistic are thinking... All of the history of this planet show that a more advanced intelligence will subjugate lesser beings...
ReplyDeleteIt could even happen by accident, creators of AI meaning well, but overlooking something... See the argument 'My logic is undeniable'... from 'I, Robot'...
