In the West we have autonomous systems to commit genocide, detecting and murdering "enemy combatants" at scale, where "enemy combatant" is defined as "male between the ages of 15 and 55".

Sadly, the search for that link continues.

I did find these from SCMP and Foreign Policy, but there are better articles out there.
