Neither the automobile nor a gun can operate without a human. You could say “bull runs amok in a market” after it was released intentionally.

So the agent is exhibiting an unknown amount of autonomy thus we can't be certain whether "running amok" carries the correct connotation.

However that phrasing is also commonly used when a person or group wreaks havoc in a seemingly unpredictable manner. So I think the appropriateness comes down to how much chaos it has created and the level of apparent confusion on the ground.
