This is absolutely horrifying. Humans are already bad enough at identifying targets and minimizing collateral damage and civilian casualties.
How does one program a drone that can identify targets independently, while also not easy being fooled by someone disguised as a noncombatant and child? I guess in theory the drones could be more expendable than manned targets and therefore have an even more strict policy on firing on potential noncombatants(even if that is easily exploited) but I get the feeling they wont do that.
I think they are able to make it work when they manage to insert “If he wears a turban and a beard, shoot.” They have already shown that the marines often did not use other criteria either, Reuthers knows about this.

Easy: murder everyone. Which will probably be the course of action this Skynet will take.
