A lot of this is driven by worldview. For example, if you're like me and have a technology oriented worldview and/or read books like Bostrom's "Superintelligence" or Marshall Brain's "The Second Intelligent Species" then you may believe that AI taking over is the inevitable eventual next stage of evolution.
But I think that many people without quite the same worldview can agree on a more mundane issue: the danger of handing control over most weapons on the battlefield to AI. Not AI that is alive, but it will be superintelligent in terms of integrating information and revising and executing strategy faster than any human could possibly hope.
Netflix's recent "Unknown: Killer Robots" explains how this change is already underway and makes a pretty good case for why AI will be used increasingly and given more and more autonomy in warfare.
