Unlike nuclear weapons, AI combined with drone-type weaponry becomes easier with time. The toy factory down the street could be converted to build a drone army for a few million bucks.
AI face recognition, targeting and flight control are smart enough to deploy a weapon - but dumb enough to do the job without question.
