"Doomsday Clock Holds at 90 Seconds to Midnight: Assessing Nuclear, Climate, and AI Threats"

The Doomsday Clock has been set at 90 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been to symbolic apocalypse, due to ongoing nuclear threats, the rise of artificial intelligence, and the escalating climate crisis. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists highlighted concerns about AI's potential to magnify disinformation and its military uses, as well as the deterioration of nuclear arms reduction agreements and ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. Urgent action from global leaders is emphasized to prevent a catastrophic outcome, with the hope that younger generations will lead the charge in reducing the likelihood of global catastrophe.
