AM is ante meridian, which means before noon. PM is post meridian. Therefore, noon is neither AM nor PM. And midnight is the divider between days. Each day starts and ends at midnight. So midnight is neither AM nor PM either.
That's why insurance policies go into effect at 12:01 AM. 12:00 can't be described legally without a lot more words, such as "midnight at the end of this date" or whatever.

Not sure about this compare to what I have read from other answers... the world is divided into two parts, AM and PM, AM is After Meridian and the other is Past Meridian. And in it is has two division again, AM and PM has a night and day but AM belongs to the night time towards day time time, while the PM is from day time towards night time. Sound confusing? But that is the knowledge I have known about it.

AM means the time on the clock ranging from 12:00 in the midnight to 12:00 in the afternoon while PM means time on clock ranging from 12:01 in the afternoon to 11:59 in the midnight.

AM : Ante Meridiem (before the middle of the day) - the time from midnight to noon
PM : Pos Meridiem (after the middle of the day) - the time from noon to midnight

Ante Meridiem and Post Meridiem. It's latin for before midday and after midday.
