美联邦贸易委员会禁止外国机器人进口以保护美国AI
美國聯邦貿易委員會（FTC）禁止先進機器人進口，標誌著美國將AI保護主義擴展至新興硬體領域。這將貿易緊張升級，將機器人視為戰略AI基礎設施。
the federal trade commission issued a surprise ban on importing advanced robots, covering humanoids, quadrupeds, and wheeled systems, despite the us market still being in a viral-video stage. this move represents an expansion of the trump administration's protectionist policies, moving from ai labs to the emerging robotics sector. the decision implies that physical automation is now considered a strategic pillar of national ai security. this action may trigger retaliatory trade measures and force domestic robotics companies to scale prematurely without global competition.
