💨 Abstract

The Doomsday Clock, which indicates humanity's proximity to extinction, has been moved to 85 seconds to midnight due to escalating threats from nuclear war, climate change, and unregulated AI. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists cited worsening global tensions, ongoing conflicts, and environmental crises as key factors. The clock's position has steadily moved closer to midnight in recent years, reflecting growing existential risks.
