In this short talk, Future of Humanity Institute researcher Stuart Armstrong has 5 minutes to lay out the reasons why Artificial Intelligence, if possible, will likely be extremely powerful and considerably dangerous (though not at all in the ways movies imply).

The talk was given at the 25th Oxford Geek Night on the 29th of February 2012
