Swarms of killer AI drones might sound like the plot of a dystopian science-fiction thriller.
But in a terrifying glimpse of the future, one
scientist has shown just how easy it already is to build an 'assassination drone' that can hunt down and kill people.
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.
Although Mr Wenus says he built the drone 'for a game' he also says he wanted to raise awareness for how easily this could be used for a deadly terrorist attack.
Killer drones were the inspiration for the 2019 sci-fi horror film The Drone, but they may be closer to reality than we though be closer than we think and even easier to
make money online than previously thought
