We CAN set the guardrails, I do it constantly. This technology is very powerful, it's up to us to use good practices, it's up to business leaders and developers to ensure that precautions are taken.
My main recommendation, and hard limit that will never change: Do not let the AI make core file changes without human-in-the-loop permission every time.
If you let an AI agent delete files outside of your project directory on your computer without you needing to click "I approve" with the ability to review it, you're setting yourself up for a huge mistake. Never give AI agents access to anything outside project scope, and keep project scope tight.
