The concept of the end of the world encompasses various interpretations depending on whether you look at it from a scientific, religious or philosophical perspective, each with its own theories and estimated times. And when asking artificial intelligence what its prediction is, this technology warned that there is a hypothesis that estimates that the Sun will expand and possibly swallow the Earth in regarding 5 billion years.

Regarding more immediate risks, such as climate change or the possibility of large asteroid impacts, humanity is working on mitigation and prevention strategies to reduce their potential impact. However, there is currently no specific date for these events and even the AI ​​is unable to determine an estimated time.

Let us remember that the Earth has an estimated life of billions more years before it experiences significant changes on a cosmic scale.

In addition to using learning languages ​​to create written content, images, videos and audios, artificial intelligence can also imagine fictional scenarios of the world. (Illustrative image Infobae)

According to Copilot, the artificial intelligence model developed by Microsoft, there would be 1,826.25 billion days left until the end of the world taking into account the eventual expansion of the Sun, which is “a long-term process by which “This star is expected to increase significantly in size and brightness as it consumes its nuclear fuel.”

“According to astrophysical theories, the Sun will transform into a red giant, expanding to the point of engulfing the closest planets, possibly including the Earth,” states the model, which also warns that this process will only “start when the Sun has exhausted hydrogen in its core, beginning to fuse helium into heavier elements.”

This expansion and resulting increase in brightness would have catastrophic effects on the climate and habitable conditions on Earth long before the planet is potentially engulfed. In that sense, Copilot highlighted that this scenario would only be possible in approximately 5 billion years and to convert it to days the following calculation is required:

The expansion of the Sun is a long-term process by which this star is expected to increase significantly in size and brightness as it consumes its nuclear fuel. (POT)

“5 billion years x 365.25 days per year (taking into account the extra day every four years for leap years) works out to approximately 1,826.25 billion days.”

The model reiterates that it must be “remembered that this is an extremely distant event and that, in the context of the most immediate risks facing humanity, such as climate change, society is working on mitigation and adaptation strategies.”

Although this event is located in the distant future, it highlights “the importance of astronomical research and understanding to anticipate and, to the extent possible, plan for large-scale cosmic changes.”

Humanity faces several existential threats. (Illustrative image Infobae)

The main threats that might mean the end of humanity according to the AI ​​assistant of the technology company founded by Bill Gates include:

• Climate change: Global warming and its effects, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events and loss of biodiversity, pose a significant threat to human survival.
• Nuclear Wars: The destructive potential of nuclear weapons might cause irreparable damage globally, both in terms of human loss and damage to the environment.
• Pandemics: Highly contagious and deadly diseases have the potential to cause large-scale deaths and destabilize entire societies.

• Asteroid impact: Although low probability, the impact of a large asteroid might have catastrophic consequences for life on Earth.
• Advanced artificial intelligence: Creating AI systems with superior-than-human capabilities and misaligned objectives might pose a risk in terms of control and manipulation.
• Ecological collapse: The accelerated degradation of ecosystems essential for life, due to the exploitation of natural resources and pollution, might lead to ecological collapse.
