A Silicon Valley company with Eric Trump as an advisor is making robot soldiers

NBC News correspondent Gadi Schwartz reports on Foundation Future Industries, a San Francisco-based robotics startup building humanoid "robot soldiers" (the Phantom humanoid platform) for U.S. military use. The company already holds a Pentagon contract and has Eric Trump serving as an advisor, raising questions about the ethics, oversight, and political implications of arming autonomous robots for warfare. The report frames the humanoid as a real, physically demonstrated robot rather than a concept, situating it within the broader debate over dangerous/lethal autonomous military robotics developed in the U.S.
