I wouldn&#x27;t trust a robot that I haven&#x27;t programmed myself.<p>Or, subsidiarily, whose software and firmware is free for inspection, modification and recompiling and installation by myself.<p>Exactly like any software or firmware.<p>Do you trust your toyota not to accelerate you in a wall?  Do you trust your volkswagen not to lie to you about its killer polution?
Do you trust your microsoft windows system not to send all your private data to the NSA?<p>It is just immoral, and it should be illegal, to put anything on the market, without providing the software and firmware under a freedom license, so that everybody can validate it, modify it, compile it and re-install it, in short so that anybody can establish a chain of trust by themselves.
