Doesn't AI go into landmines category then?

Or air to air missiles, they also already decide to kill people on their own

Ciws has had an autonomous mode for years and it still has an issue with locking on commercial planes.

Exactly. There isn't some huge AI jump we haven't already made, we need to be careful about how all these are acceptable and programed.

We can go farther and say in the 80s we had autonomous ICBM killers.
