Yes, but that's a failure mode of any system, including with humans: a realistic false flag attack can provoke a counter-attack against your real target. The solution is to improve your capacity of distinguishing true attacks, regardless of whether the analysis is made by a human or software.
I suspect the real danger of the automated system is speed and with it being beyond the ability of others to counter it - which means the system may overreact immediately with nothing to be done to stop it in matters of ultimate stake.
