    "NEWTON" is the name of an AI program housed within one particular MQ-9 Reaper UAV unit, the UAV of which features a new, modified infrared camera designed to assist Newton with "his" task: to identify and minimize innocent casualties caused by drone strikes. However, the task does not specify any technical or moral obligations to follow; as a result, Newton may short-circuit and deduce that to save innocent lives, he must destroy the source of their endangerment, which is drones like himself.
