Should Robot Dogs be Weaponized?
My team was tasked with creating a policy briefing and recommendation regarding the weaponization of robotic dogs. We conducted thorough ethnographic research using Atlas.ti, new articles, interviews, advertisements, and legal documents. We created a 45-minute (5-slide maximum) presentation, a briefing memo, and a seventeen-page research paper. As the team lead, I am incredibly proud of what we put together.
Over the course of 10 weeks, my group and I reviewed dozens of documents, created a list of key codes and themes, and talked with industry specialists. We finally decided on our policy decision: weaponize robotic dogs. This was a difficult decision, but ultimately we felt that weaponization was inevitable, and by allowing it now we could get started on properly regulating their creation.
