They’re not. They slapped an image detection algorithm (which have existed for decades) into a drone and made it capable of using the flight controller to fly it into a selected target if the signal gets jammed.
Point defence systems for ships and anti aircraft missiles like Patriot have all killed people in autonomous modes in friendly-fire incidents, so LAWS aren’t new and don’t require AI. Barriers to building them are reducing, but again, that’s more due to cheap drones rather than AI.
you build it by creating a loose definition and creating something that fits those requirements. If pattern recognition is intelligence than computer vision is intelligent.

there’s already AI killer drones flying around in Ukraine

ok then don’t call it AI, but these drones still exist

my point was that robots designed to kill humans exist, whether they’re “AI” or not is quite irrelevant

the post is about killer robots is it not? i didn’t read the community name

how about “lethal autonomous weapon systems” then
