The Shahed drone can't use it's INS system to communicate with a ground operator or reprogram itself. As the other comment says, it's basically a glorified cruise missile that has the autonomy of a Roomba. Disabling a Shahed with another drone may have happened, but it's certainly not the primary threat to the Shahed when compared to CIWS or SAMs.
AI targeting was debuted in the Patriot missile system, which does technically field the required elements of a hands-off kill chain. But TERCOM is not AI nor was it debuted in the 90s with the TLAM. The original BLOCK-I variants of the Tomohawk (and many versions released afterwards) were no more autonomous than the Shahed-136.
