I can't wait for the day that killing a human-any human-is considered a war crime.

The problem is always the same. It's not just MoD (is it MoW now?) that will have access to this.

YoloV8 + optical flow works fine on an esp32. You want to give a drone rough coordinates for a refinery and hit something in it, like a storage tank? That'll work. This means, give it 5 years, relatively small groups will have access to it. This cannot be stopped.

The only real answer is to work to have groups that you can trust to have access to this first.

Sadly, building an AI that analyses camera imagery and aims at humans, from scratch, is these days almost an intern project. It's not really something you can control or ban, the way you can control, dunno, uranium enrichment.

Integrating it with a robot and sticking a gun on it, thankfully, requires a bit more know-how.

How will this help exactly?
