WASHINGTON (AN) — It's now 89 seconds to 'midnight' – a second closer than it was a year ago to the proverbial game-over time for humanity – says a group of scientists measuring global existential threats from nuclear weapons, wars, pandemics, climate change and artificial intelligence.
The 2025 time is the closest to midnight that the 'Doomsday Clock' has ever been since it began in 1947, signaling that "the world is on a course of unprecedented risk, and that continuing on the current path is a form of madness," the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists announced on Tuesday.
