Penny constitutes a military secret. She's never going to be let free. Not until they can reliably, economically replicate the process by which a soul was incepted into steel and polymer, rather than flesh and blood. Even if the program is shut down, she'd be scuttled, and there's no way she'd be able to prevent it. Again, this assumes Atlas is given choice in the matter, Human rights were the spark of their last World war, and in the end Atlas lost, if it becomes an HR issue, would they fight it and risk losing again for a single android? or would they let her become a hunter, a title that already appears to be a neutral warrior class like the jedi, which then means she belongs to no nation, and is constantly in a perfect test environment, which actually helps their cause of the continuation of the android program as much as disassembly, without the complications penny then represents, or the errors she may have. Again, that's a good idea but uses too many assumptions and ignores several important aspects. For example, if Penny has to become a huntress at the end then why Beacon and why JNPR? Wouldn't it make more sense if she became a student in Ironwood's academy in Altas where they can keep an eye on her?

The thing is that assuming Penny has to replace Pyrrha by somehow ending in Beacon because things happened so convenient to her favor is too forced. No matter how you look at it, it will involve her father/creator, Ironwood, the military, the council, Ozpin, JNPR, too many variables. It's too much of a wild guess.
