No — not safely. Keep humans at decision gates to block hacks and errors; full auto's a hacker invite.

How do I protect my personal AI tools from prompt injection?

What's the biggest risk of open-source AI from China?

Not backdoors, per Nohl — erratic behavior. Always human-review critical outputs.
