Scientists have updated their assessment of the symbolic “Doomsday Clock,” a representation of humanity’s proximity to global catastrophe. The updated assessment considers various factors, including nuclear proliferation, climate change, and emerging technologies. The clock’s setting reflects the collective analysis of experts, and is intended to serve as a call to action. It highlights the need for international cooperation and responsible decision-making to mitigate identified risks. This recalibration does not represent an exact timetable, but rather a symbolic measure of the current threat level.
