When can we expect Executives with robot security? (reddthat.com)

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?

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.
