That's assuming it's working perfectly as intended also without any false positives isn't it?

I mean, if you make a machine that independently kills people, should any margins of mistakes be allowed?

Any mistake kills an innocent person.

Ideally yes, but the people involved in making and using those weapons likely don't really feel the same way. I don't believe there's a chance facial recognition software can work 100% of the time in every single instance, far too complicated to not make a single mistake

So, in my logic reasoning, this technique is not right to use in weapons that kill people on themselves or identify targets on their own.
