If it is a bad kill, is there a person who will go to jail or be executed for it?

Only the losing side is subject to war crimes trials, and no doubt rules of engagement will be developed and followed to prevent people going to jail due to "bad kills".

There are really no "bad kills" in the armed services, there's just limited exposure of public scandals.

Especially for the US who doesn't subject its self to international courts like The Hague. So any atrocities, accidents, or war crimes will still just be internal scandals and temporary.

Same as it is today.

If a country implements murder machines that efficiently slay a continent then does not stop at the sea.

Will nobody for real do nothing?

Is that your belief for bad kills? Same with gas and engineered disease?

Biological and chemical warfare

Of course there isn't just like there isn't when a human makes a mistake on the battlefield, you think that every civilian killed by an American soldier in Afghanistan resulted in a trial and punishment? American hasn't executed amy soldiers since 1961 (for rape and attempted murder of a child in austria, not during war)

Honestly at least the military code will obey orders and only focus on the objective rather than rape and murder for fun.

Like if someone made a biological weapon that wipes out a continent

Will someone go to prison?

It's no difference
