The article mentions bomb-equipped drones with image recognition, where before launch operators define a set of target types, a desired confidence level, a "kill box" (geographic area in which the drone may engage autonomously), and set the drones loose.

Of note, the drones can’t distinguish friend or foe, nor civilians from combatants.
