"What we have here are the beginnings of something designed to enable
robots to hunt down humans like a pack of dogs. Once the software is
perfected we can reasonably anticipate that they will become autonomous

We can also expect such systems to be equipped with human detection and tracking devices including sensors which detect human breath and the radio waves associated with a human heart beat. These are technologies already developed."

Even spookier than that is how the Description describes the subject: non-cooperative human.
