I am using AI to drop hats outside my window onto New Yorkers 2 years ago
I have build something similar as an entry for the Hackaday prize in 2016:

I used Viola-Jones for face detection on a Raspberry Pi 2 and built a fan with servo-actuated lamellae from plywood using my CNC-Router. It almost landed me a job at a local engineering company but chose to stay in academia back then. I still have the hardware somewhere in a drawer in my workshop. It definitely was a fun project.
