"AI Robot cops show implicit bias resulting in 3 deaths" is a headline today if you remove the AI robot part. As evidenced by the comments in this thread and any other on these robots, the public is extremely skeptical of them. If they do indeed exhibit these kinds of harms, the public will likely enact severe restrictions on them. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up in a situation where a lot of benefits are left on the table due to over-caution, just as you might see with self-driving cars that kill fewer people but are highlighted in the news when the rare accident does happen.

The robots will just become drones (remotely controlled by humans). BD demos are great to show that these will be autonomously ambulatory (you just tell them which direction to move, they manage the low-level concerns of the movement).

We won't trust AI with decision-making, but we will trust the status-quo police forces to dish out violence from the safety of an office.
