Politicians, however and unfortunately, are very animate...

Nowadays almost NOTHING is “inanimate.” They are putting AI into all sorts of things, from toys to lawnmowers and of course, cars.

Even without watching the video, I can envision in the near future guns that are “situation aware” starting with only working for the person whose fingerprints or other bio signature is imprinted into it. The next phase would be discerning whether the target is a person or not.

Maybe 20 years away but that is not all that long.

Just read an AP story about a lawsuit against the company that sold the bullets in “the gun that was held by Alec Baldwin that killed a camera operator”...so maybe we need smart bullets, too.
