In just a few hours, Luis Wenus, an engineer and entrepreneur, converted a $115 (£89.99) drone into the basis of a deadly weapon.
Using AI facial recognition the drone was programmed to recognise individuals and race towards them at full speed.
...
In a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, Mr Wenus and his engineer colleague, demonstrated how a commercial drone can be programmed to chase down targets.
In the post, Mr Wenus writes: 'I thought it would be fun to build a drone that chases you around as a game.'
The drone uses an AI 'object detection model' to recognise faces using its onboard camera.
Once it sees a face, the drone is programmed to try and keep it in the centre of its view and fly directly forward, chasing down its target.
In one mode the drone will charge directly towards anything it recognises as a face.
