Robot security guards powered by artificial intelligence are starting to increasingly patrol offices and businesses, representing another step in the automation and robotics takeover in the workspace, while again also generating discussions over privacy concerns.

In March Gary Knutson for Fox News highlighted one of these robots produced by Cobalt Robotics, a tech firm that specializes in “artificial intelligence and robotic automation to handle mundane, important tasks…”

Knutson wrote: ‘Some of these tasks include things like patrolling office buildings for broken fire alarms, suspicious activity, and checking in visitors. The main reason that a lot of office buildings are beginning to use these robots over human beings is that it saves them a ton of money – roughly $79,000 per year, according to a report from Forrester Research.

The robot can ‘detect more danger than a security camera or even a human being can,’ Knutson says, neither can they get tired or distracted. Employees and security staff can also utilize two-way communication to speak with employees or vice-versa.

Knutson however highlights a looming concern:

And the con that I am concerned with the most is this technology malfunctioning. We’ve seen AI technology malfunction all the time, whether it be something like ChatGPT saying the wrong thing or the self-service machine at McDonald’s being out of service.

Plus, there hasn’t been much detail about if these robots can actually prevent crime. Security guards are meant to keep people in a designated building safe, so I’m a little hesitant to put all our trust in AI bots until companies are certain that they’re the safest option and won’t malfunction in times of need.

More recently Australia’s 7 News recently highlighted how these robots are now starting to find their way into offices in the country down under.

But this trends is only going to increase. Benzinga highlighted other security bots around the world in this year alone:

  • In Singapore, robot security guards patrol a shopping mall to deter crime and provide police with expanded coverage of the area. The robots use cameras and intelligent analysis tools to spot unwelcome behaviors, and police can use the robot’s microphone to communicate with the public in real-time.  
  • A suburban mall outside Cleveland uses a robot informally dubbed “secret agent man” built by California-based Knightscope Inc. It uses 360-degree video to monitor areas and alert staff members. It uses AI to spot anomalies such as theft and helps the security team respond to issues quickly. 
  • A self-storage firm operating in California uses robot security guards to provide coverage during all operational hours. It’s an attractive security option for an industry that is a frequent target for thieves.

This past Labor Day New York City rolled out drones that spied on residents at their privates homes. SEE: Dystopian: New York City Police To Surveil Partygoers For Labor Day, As California Beachgoers Get Spied On Too


AUTHOR COMMENTARY

Before too long these robots will be equipped with some kind of weapons system, and when staff and pedestrians don’t smile, or are in the wrong place because their social credit score is too low, do not be surprised in the slightest if they start tasing people or sound alarms to alert the drone swarms to hunt down the innocent perpetrator.

[9] The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. [10] And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Psalms 9:9-10

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • If these things can read minds, and if many are being attached to drones (or operating them), most of us won’t stand a chance of avoiding or defeating them!

    If Jesus doesn’t come soon, there won’t be any “alive” saints to be raptured! I believe He knows that, and has alternative plans for us. I’m very hopeful, but if not, either way (death or Rapture), we will go to where He is. We can’t lose for winning! Maranatha!
