The cynic in me finds this quite naive - there are territories of the Earth where if you are a male of a certain age and you are killed in a drone strike you are automatically classified as a "military-aged male", i.e. a non-civilian, regardless of the existence of any other evidence.

So what will happen if AI suggests someone is a terrorist when they are not? Well, in the worst scenario they'll be killed, and it'll be very close to what we have today, except somewhere in a private military database there might be an automatically generated record from an LLM ok-ing the target.
