At this point, I don't think so. AirBus has said there may have been
computer issues. There have been on other flights where one of the computers
onboard lied to the others, and started the plane into a (shallow) dive.
Computers being what they are, the glitch could turn into something far more
catastrophic under the right (wrong) set of circumstances. Combine that with
the severe weather the plane was encountering at the time...
