Suicide Drone?

Sadly, three U.S. troops were killed over the weekend in a remote area of Jordan when a drone exploded over their military base. 

I heard a report on the radio describing it as a "suicide drone." Hmm. I understand that this was a weapon designed to self-destruct, that it was guided as a drone. But the reporter should not have given it that description.

The gaff makes me imagine the possibility of some AI destroying itself. If that ever happens, should we intervene to prevent it?
