"Doomsday Clock: Humanity's Precarious 90-Second Countdown to Global Catastrophe"

The Doomsday Clock has been reset to 90 seconds to midnight for the second year in a row, indicating the continued state of unprecedented danger the world faces. The decision takes into account global threats such as the Russia-Ukraine war, climate crisis, genetic engineering technologies, and the advance of generative AI. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists emphasizes the urgent need for governments and communities to act, while also expressing hope in the younger generations leading the charge. The Doomsday Clock serves as a metaphor to warn humanity about the potential for global catastrophe, and speakers at the event, including Bill Nye, emphasized the need for better management of the technologies created to prevent catastrophe.
