The Federal Communications Commission is set to ban foreign products in two specific categories that affect national security.
On Monday, the FCC released its determination that also revealed a glimpse into what the United States military has up its sleeves in terms of autonomous warfare.
The United States has decided to ban "Foreign-Produced Advanced Robotic Devices," citing that they are often equipped with sensors, light detectors, and other technology that "collect and maintain sensitive data on their surroundings."
The national security brief noted that such data must be protected and maintained in the United States, and with that, foreign-made robots cannot be trusted.
At the same time, the summary determination stated that the government believes "advanced robotic devices such as Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and quadrupeds will be essential to the modern battlefield."
