moral and ethical to use AI that targets autonomously?
First point, vision systems have been used in industry to look for misaligned labels, incorrectly folded papers (in high speed paper presses), wrong items on high speed conveyor belts etc. for thirty odd years now - they have issues that a very distinct from LLM 'AI' hallucinations.
That's nomenclature out the way.
Landmines are indiscriminate, they trigger on any weight or pressure over a threshold.
A vision based Felixer, by contrast, only triggers on cats (well, almost always only) and leaves bilbies and bettongs to walk on by.
That's an improvement over landmines.
The crux of your issue here might be the morality and ethics of establishing human exclusion zones within which all humans are highly likely to die.
These historically are created with rapid patterned artillery fire, butterfly mines, Napalm, indiscriminate criss crossing machine gun fire, etc.
Now there exists an option to use drones to kill all humans and leave the horses and cows alive.
Is it your concern that a bad vision threshold might kill a horse rather than a person? (Likely not)
Would you prefer an area to be napalm'd and agent orange'd back to dust?
Also, why do people keep talking about landmines? I'm talking about software, you are talking about dumb mechanical things from WWII. This isn't a philosophical question about methods of warfare from the past, but the software that controls the dumb hardware.
I, a person, singular, mention landmines as they are a hardware device that are designed to trigger action on a threshold.
Felixers are computer vision based devices that are designed to trigger action on a threshold.
These are actual real world objects that Bishop Berkeley can kick, not vague philosophical questions but actual engineered devices that kill and are in use today.

War is hell.

Land mines are still very much in widespread use
I'd prefer a world without war, rather than one that is starting to make the movie Terminator 2: Judgement Day a reality.
