Honestly, not really. There will be any number of failsafes built in, imagine the to-do if they were to accidentally bomb a school or hospital - I'm sure they will do all that is possible to minimise the risks.
And if the machines did rise up...well, we can hide down the copper mines and plan our triumphant rebellion over lamb barbecue!
Did I say rebellion? I meant a sortie into town to raid the pub cellars!

"if they were to accidentally bomb a school or hospital"
Pilot operated planes do that quite frequently, at least with computers we will know when its deliberate.
Why would I be worried? It makes more sense than risking the life of a human.
You are not risking the life of a human pilot, but maybe you are putting lives on the ground more at risk?
Of course humans can and do make mistakes, includign all the infamous friendly fire incidents, and at present there is still a man in the loop, flying the UAV from a ground base via remote control systems.
Next step could well be a robotic plane that was intelligent enough to do without the human operator.
Even the best software can have bugs in it, often well hidden until some never thought of by the testers situation occurs, and a malfunctioning armed UAV could potentially mistake a hospital for a command bunker.
