Activists in Japan accused FANUC, a leading robotics manufacturer, of violating company policies and Japanese export controls by providing technology to the Israeli defense industry, potentially aiding military activities in Gaza. Amid protests and demands for cessation of ties with Israel, FANUC denied the allegations, insisting on a rigorous transaction screening process. If their technology, classified as dual-use, is indeed being utilized for military purposes without proper oversight, it could result in unauthorized access or misuse, leading to geopolitical tensions, regulatory scrutiny, and potential financial and reputational damage for FANUC.
