The Doomsday Clock remains at 90 seconds to midnight, still the closest it has ever been to midnight, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists said on Tuesday.

The organization cited the Russia-Ukraine war; the Climate Crisis and 2023′s official designation as the hottest year on record; increased genetic engineering technologies; and the advance of generative AI which “could magnify disinformation and corrupt the global information environment making it harder to solve the larger existential challenges,” an announcement read.

“Make no mistake: resetting the Clock at 90 seconds to midnight is not an indication that the world is stable,” said Rachel Bronson, the president and CEO of the Bulletin.

“Quite the opposite. It’s urgent for governments and communities around the world to act. And the Bulletin remains hopeful—and inspired—in seeing the younger generations leading the charge.”

Founded in 1945 by Albert Einstein, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and University of Chicago scientists who helped develop the first atomic weapons in the Manhattan Project, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists created the Doomsday Clock in 1947, to convey threats to humanity and the planet.
