Abstract

The title of this essay has a twofold meaning, as does the word “end.” The word “end” means the last part of an extended thing or a period of time. A cessation. “End” also means the purpose and goal of an effort or a course of action. Bearing in mind this double meaning, I will spend this essay arguing that firstly, the emergence and the rapid advancement of AI technology means the end of humanity in an important sense.
