Depends on the cost of Sapient AIs. They exist, but I got the impression that they're far from easy or cheap to make. Maybe even more expensive than a dedicated human with similar skills.

hates to give anyone control of lethal weaponry but a reliable Mink. Automated systems may handle a lot of the work, but the final 'fire' command is always human.
