``Human-hunting AI drone'' incorporating AI and facial recognition completed in just a few hours



Entrepreneur and engineer Luis Wenas posted on SNS that he created a drone that chases humans like a game by incorporating a facial recognition system and artificial intelligence (AI) into a small drone. Mr. Wenas points out that the drone, which was created in just a few hours, can easily transform into a drone that can automatically kill humans if it is equipped with a weapon, and warns against the use of AI drones as weapons.

Wenas reports in the movie that he worked with fellow engineer Robert Lukoszko to design an AI-controlled drone that uses an object detection model to find people and fly towards them at full speed. did.



The drone is equipped with a facial recognition system.



In the image below, you can see that Mr. Wenas is recognized as 'Luis'.



In the movie where you actually fly the AI drone, you can see how the drone that recognizes the target continues to chase from a certain altitude.



In the movie, ``The drone chases the person it recognizes as if it were a game,'' but Mr. Wenas said at the same time, ``This AI drone was built in just a few hours, but this drone has a small amount of explosives. Just by strapping it down, it becomes a terrifying weapon. There are almost no anti-drone systems at large events or public places, and it made me realize just how frightening a drone weapon that can easily operate and attack a specific person can be.' I'm making a statement.

Mr. Wenas describes himself as an ``open source absolutist,'' and as an engineer he always places importance on sharing software as open source. In addition, ``While there are downsides to AI development, AI research should be accelerated regardless of the downsides, based on the belief that the good always outweighs the bad.''Effective accelerationism ( e/acc) ) is also recommended by Mr. Wenas. However, since this AI drone is an extremely dangerous technology that could lead to terrorist attacks, Wenas says that he will not release any code related to the experiment.

Designing AI drones requires technical knowledge, but with advanced AI assisting with advanced coding, the software may become easier to create. For this reason, Mr. Wenas emphasized the dangers of drone weapons, and warned through this experiment that there is an urgent need to build anti-drone systems such as cameras, acoustic sensors, and drone detection radar in places where large numbers of people gather.
