This fictional video was created as a warning about what may be real in the near future: tiny little drones with artificial intelligence, facial recognition, and enough explosive to destroy a person’s head. One drone can kill one specific person. A big group of drones can kill a large number of specific people, or an entire city for that matter.

Create Extreme magnetic field around you when a threat is detected as protection. Then while you are protected use a secondary weapon to destroy the bots.
Total war against the threat.
If third party vendor or outsourcing, they will be targeted for elimination.
Important tech.
We could try talking to the Slaughterbots. Is it a proper noun now? I dunno....
Maybe they just want what’s best for us. Like politicians do. (P intentionally p’d).
Self driving car bombs are likely to be more of a problem. ISIS used manned suicide car bombs effectively against ground forces, even armored forces, until sophisticated missiles and air power were available as a countermeasure. Large numbers of autonomous car bombs would be very hard to detect and defend against.
When autonomous vehicles go bad it won't be pretty.
ROFL!!
I got a kidlet getting a PhD. in A.I. I’ll run this stuff by him when he’s home for Christmas.
All I know is this guy is gonna ge bit...
This is bull.
Your neighborhood threat won’t be a nation-state or some group in a cave on the other side of the world. The machine coming into your house to steal your stuff if you’re lucky, or to dismember your family if you’re not lucky, will have been built from a Chinese kit bought through Amazon and then modified in terms of software and probably hardware as well, in the garage or workshop of a local nut or for money by a “guy who doesn’t ask questions”. It won’t be fully autonomous in our lifetimes, but it will be remote-controlled by a thief, kidnapper or thrill killer wearing VR goggles.
Opportunists will build these things and then sell them or rent out time on them to unseen and unknowable operators anywhere in the world over the dark net, who’ll anonymously pay with Monero and operate the machines over 5G and the Internet while getting feeds of 3D video and audio.
What the unseen operators may choose to do with the machines is a matter of imagining what a twisted demon would do if it had no fear of apprehension. Defenses will be essential.
Personal EMP Pulsed Shielding
Counterweapon of the Future
A number of years ago, I gave another Freeper 700 rounds of French Rhodisian steel jacket 762 ammo.
Now consider face recognition that would not be fooled into attacking a picture of a face, or a store manikin or the like, but would be savvy enough to attack a person with a mask that looks nothing like a person.
Certainly one could theoretically create so many of the things and have them attack en masse extremely indiscriminately....but a daisy cutter is probably way easier, cheaper, and more effective at that point.
