The Doomsday Clock remains at 90 seconds to midnight for the second year, the closest in its 77-year history.

Factors contributing to this threat include the war in Ukraine, conflicts in Gaza, nuclear weapons modernization, and climate-related disasters.

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is also a concern due to its potential to corrupt information and impact political elections.

The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists stresses the need for powerful nations like the US, China, and Russia to collaborate to reverse the clock.

The risks posed by nuclear weapons, climate change, and advancements in genetic engineering are emphasized.

The Doomsday Clock serves as a reminder of the urgency to address these global risks to safeguard humanity.
