Imagine a company that makes very smart robots. The government wants to use these robots for everything, but the company says 'no' to using them for spying on people or for robots that decide to fight on their own. Now, the government is saying the company is 'risky' and others shouldn't work with them. Many other smart robot makers are saying this is unfair and could make companies scared to say 'no' to the government.
