Chuck Barrett's '2023: Countdown to Doomsday' Ties AI to Doomsday Clock

Original: 2023: Countdown to Doomsday by Chuck Barrett An A.I. Perspective As the Doomsday Clock strikes 90 seconds till midnight,

Chuck Barrett's book '2023: Countdown to Doomsday: An A.I. Perspective' is drawing attention with its premise that artificial intelligence offers a read on humanity's path toward extinction. It uses the Doomsday Clock, set at 90 seconds to midnight in 2023, as its framing, asking what state the planet and its inhabitants are in and how AI predicts several risks unfolding.

Why now: The Doomsday Clock's 90-seconds-to-midnight setting and rising worries about AI have renewed interest in books exploring existential threats to humanity.
