We already have AI weapons, I think.
As I understand it, the Navy's Phalanx defense system is self contained with its own radar, processing, and weapon. Once activated it decides for itself what is a threat and when/what to shoot.
Even back in the 1980s, I think the F14's weapons officer could launch all six Phoenix missiles at once and the plane's computer would track 20+ potential targets then select the greatest threats to be destroyed. Whether this feature actually worked I'm not sure.
