[FRIAM] Up and Out vs Down and in

[Prof David West]

There was a Sixty Minutes episode a few years back re: who owned the largest automated army on the planet? It was all about Boston Dynamics robots.  But the punch line was that Google owns them, and hence the Army.

Depending on whether or not employees or executives control Google politics, it is not clear whose side the robots would be on.
