We should be thinking about all sorts of ways in which autonomous systems can create a whole new style of warfare. The combination of deep learning and targetted weaponry create extremely efficient killing machines. "Off the shelf" lasers combined with facial recognition, actuators and cameras could permanently blind a battalion in seconds, before anyone even had time to know what was going on. I think it's only a matter of time before we see 'dazzlers' used both on and off the battlefield.
