A collaboration between NASA and Toho University used supercomputers to predict that Earth will become uninhabitable around the year 1,000,002,021 due to the Sun's increasing heat, with human life potentially ending much earlier because of climate change and atmospheric deterioration, though these are long-term projections.
Research suggests that in about 4.5 billion years, as the sun becomes a red giant, its habitable zone may extend to Jupiter's moon Europa, potentially allowing some water and possibly life to survive for up to 200 million years on its surface, especially in its polar regions, although this window is brief in cosmic terms.
Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other executives are focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) development, particularly in the generative AI team, according to Meta's CTO Andrew Bosworth. Bosworth stated that the company will not pause AI research despite an open letter from Future of Life calling for a six-month pause on AI labs. Meta expects to commercialize some of its AI technology this year, which can help its ad business and metaverse technologies. The company believes that being transparent and open with AI research holds the industry accountable to innovate responsibly.
