Auto transmission fluid is basically a hydraulic fluid. Power steering pump and gear box are hyraulically operated parts so it won't hurt it. If it's a big concern for you just remove as much as you can and refill with power steering fluid.

I wouldn't lose sleep over it as others have said. I've used it in my power steering before.
