There might be a little problem when A.I. is occasionally programmed to hunt and kill certain people.

The 2014 and 2017 movies titled, Drone depict how drone pilots find it more and more difficult to do their tasks. Drone_(2014_film)#Premise , Drone_(2017_film)#Plot , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_featuring_drones

Human emotions keep getting in the way, where as autonomous units simply hunt and kill the human targets. However, at a certain point, what if the A.I. decides to attack all humans? 

When RoboCop was released in 1987, people got to see an intense depiction of a severely injured man that was revived and rebuilt into a robotic body. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop#Plot

The movie was set in Detroit but was mostly filmed in Dallas. https://www.dallasfilmcommission.com/robocop-dallas-locations-then-now , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop#Filming , https://www.movie-locations.com/movies/r/Robocop-1987.php , http://www.thennowmovielocations.com/2019/05/robocop-1987.html

Then in 2016, Dallas became the first city to use robotics to kill a person.

"Peter Singer, a strategist and senior fellow at the New America Foundation who writes about the technology of warfare, said he believed this was a first. “There may be some story that comes along, but I’d think I’d have heard of it,” he said.

Others concurred. “As far as I know, it appears to be the first intentional use of a lethally armed robot by the police in the United States,” said Elizabeth Joh, law professor at the University of California at Davis." https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jul/08/police-bomb-robot-explosive-killed-suspect-dallas

Eventually, fully autonomous robotics would be used in similar situations.
