Wouldn’t it be cheaper to pay vastly more versatile human guards a decent wage to guard those or more of those instead of those robots?
Basically yea, you’re paying a guard at most 45k a year in most places. I highly doubt these fucking things will last 4 years without major maintenance which will probably cost a month or two of a guards wages. So long term it costs far more compared to wages, but when you factor in labour laws and insurance it’s probably still cheaper to just hire people.
But the c suite got to say “AI” a lot in their board meeting and pr statements
