Is our humanity really so far gone? At this rate, researchers should come together and refuse to publish further research in this area.

I would hope UN can come together and at a minimum make an arms treaty to limit/prevent/undo development of AI tools that track/hurt individual humans this way. At a pathetic bare-bones minimum, these drones should never be allowed to kill or maim humans autonomously, and must be hardcoded to "accept a surrender" if someone stops holding their hands up.

If we limited chemical weapons, we can limit these terrifying abominations too.
