Doomsday Clock Moves Closer To Midnight
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved the Doomsday Clock to 85 seconds to midnight, its closest point ever, citing intensifying nuclear, climate and artificial intelligence risks and noting the shift is four seconds closer than last year's 89 seconds. The Chicago-based group warned that eroding international cooperation fuels these threats and urged renewed arms control, climate action and AI governance to reduce existential risk.
