Artificial Intelligence: Who let the digidogs out? – Following San Francisco, NY is letting lose Robot Dog Cops on the streets.

"As New York’s major reintroduces the Digidog despite it being previously retired for aggressive policing, is increased police militarisation about keeping us safe from the bad guys or preventing the population from revolting against the powerful?"

"So once they introduce it, it never goes backwards. Since the dawn of history, rulers have dreamed of having mindless obedient soldiers who will never turn against them, will never disobey orders and will never hesitate to attack the civilians of their own country when told to do so. Cop bots are the final solution to the ancient problem but there are always a whole lot more ordinary people than there are rulers because once they're fully militarized and fully rolled out they can be used to subdue a population of any size."

"More importantly (at least in the long term), once armed robots are being used to police civilian populations, the powerful will have made the possibility of a people's revolution against them far more remote."

Note: What was not shown are the robot dogs ability to stand on its hind legs and fight you with incredible unarmed combat abilities and also shoot you with 100% accuracy. This was shown with the San Francisco robot cops which is much bigger in size.
