Blue_Thunder is a thrilling and cautionary Sci-Fi movie about urban Police_aviation vehicles.

Of course today there could be drone equivalents of a Blue_Thunder_type_helicopter. Such tech can be quite beneficial, but there is always a potential for it to be abused, as is the case with any technology.

So this looks like its just a drone movie and it's taking quite a long time to even get the movie started.

Was it a prank that got out of control, or something else that set off an angry mob?

Of course AI & robotics can be of great assistance to humanity.

However, if there is a perceived threat to human jobs & culture, some people will take it to the streets.

If this AI Tech was gradually implemented over the course of a century (from 2000 to 2100), that would give human civilization plenty of time to adapt.

From 2000 to 2050, things might get a little more contentious, but from 2024 to 2050, the strain might be too much.
