Santiago/Getty Images) The push for AI guardrails comes as Foundation Future Industries, backed by Eric Trump, secured a $24 million contract with the Defense Department and is testing a battle robot with U.S. defense forces, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Foundation Future Industries founder and CEO Sankaet Pathak said that once a robot’s perception, reasoning, and adaptive behavior has become precise enough, “instead of dropping a bomb in a building, you can send humanoids to actually walk inside that building and go directly to the target.”

Pathak said that his startup has deployed around 10 humanoid robots, which he explained are leased "for $100,000 per robot per year."

“We’ve done deployments with the Air Force,” he said.
