There are no risk-free investments, and investing in Boston Dynamics carries several risks. First, it's a private company that holds a tiny position in the holdings of Hyundai (HYMTF) or SoftBank (SFTBF). The price performance for either stock is more correlated to other business ventures than robots. Also, many remain cautious about artificial intelligence ethics as there are concerns that law enforcement or military agencies can use robots to harm or target individuals. Boston Dynamics and several other leading AI companies have pledged not to sell units to buyers with intentions to use the robot as a weapon or for harmful purposes.
