A deadly drone "hunted down" a human target without being instructed to do so, according to a UN report.
The incident took place during clashes in Libya last year, the Daily Star reported.
Experts are sounding the alarm about the lack of regulation around using "killer robots."
The Turkish-built KARGU-2, a deadly attack drone designed for asymmetric warfare and anti-terrorist operations, targeted one of Haftar's soldiers while he tried to retreat, according to the paper.
This is likely the first time drones have attacked humans without instructions to do so, Zak Kellenborn, a national security consultant who specializes in unmanned systems and drones, confirmed in the report.
Kallenborn, however, has concerns about the future of autonomous drones. "How brittle is the object recognition system?" he said. "How often does it misidentify targets?"
