Comes pre-loaded with Google's self driving car AI, with a switchup of high-low priority collision aversion linked to the targeting system. It'll never get any updates.

It's pretty forward thinking for the DoD to consider artificial beings persons with protections. Will the first AI death be a murder or a suicide?

sure, but how many telemarketer calls + voicemails would you need to be receiving every single day before you started looking into autoblocking lists and something to autoblock spoofed numbers

Protip for when I was in your situation: Accept the call but don't say anything. If it's a machine, it hangs up automatically after about 5 seconds. If it's a person they give a confused '...hello?" and you can just pretend like there was an issue with your reception or something, or just pretend there was no delay at all.

the criminal faces are frowning and look unhappy, while the non-criminal faces look mildly pleased and have a slight smile. their algorithm picked up on that, but since it doesn't know about facial expressions, it assumed it was a fundamental difference in facial structure

Criminals are frowning and unhappy because late-stage capitalism has obliterated their economic security driving them to crimes. People who don't worry about stealing to provide for their family and/or drug habit to take the pain away aren't unhappy all the time.
