It's probably not true that they're using AI for this.

Local onboard 'AI' is used for image recognition, classification and target locking usually, and it flies using essentially agrodrone software missions (ardupilot). It's not completely autonomous, just mostly hands off.

It does sound like someone clicks the right blob onscreen, so in the absence of further instruction, the drone will go give it a hug. That's missile lock-on via webcam, not a flying landmine.
