Scientists predict humanity may end by 2026
Pessimistic scientists expected the world to end and humanity to be eradicated before the end of 2026, according to a study published in the journal "Science" in 1960. The study was based on rapid population growth, as the Earth's population at that time was around three billion, and it was expected to reach approximately 10.3 billion before beginning to decline. The scientists warned that the collapse would not be the result of nuclear war or environmental disasters, but rather due to overpopulation, with the explosion expected to occur in a catastrophic event before November 13, 2026. Researchers also pointed to the risks of artificial intelligence, where scientist von Foerster warned that the ability of AI to perform "intelligent" tasks does not equate to human intelligence, and that excessive reliance on it could increase risks to humanity, as the population is projected to reach its peak in just two months from now.
