Such techniques could be employed in covert and clandestine operations without an individual’s knowledge or consent. Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems In the future, biometric technologies could be integrated into lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS)—weapons capable of selecting and engaging targets without the need for manual human control or remote operation.
