Data centers are getting bigger… and so is the cost of securing them. To keep up with the demand for constant security across their massive facilities, some of the largest data center operators in the US are turning to robot dogs. According to Business Insider, these are not experimental machines. They’ve already been deployed by both first responders and law enforcement and are equipped with advanced surveillance technologies designed for hig…

$300,000 dog robots are now securing some of the largest data centers that feed our AIs. This rekindles the debate about the relevance of replacing humans with machinesA conventional security officer costs $150,000 a year and is entitled to leave. A dog robot costs between $165,000 and $300,000 on purchase and operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without sick leave, no benefits and no overtime. All calculations made, these machines...
