Study highlights 17 threats to humanity by 2100
A recent scientific study published in The Lancet warns of the rise of 17 global risks that could threaten humanity's future by the year 2100. Among the most prominent are malicious use of artificial intelligence and nuclear war. The risks include climate change, which could cause severe weather disruptions and declines in food production, pandemics, antibiotic resistance, air pollution, malnutrition, along with dangerous technological developments. The report indicates that malicious deployment of AI could lead to the development of biological weapons and the outbreak of large-scale nuclear conflicts, with some scenarios potentially reaching the point of human extinction, despite their low probabilities. It also warns that limiting global temperature rise to 1.8°C instead of 4.4°C could save approximately 1.89 billion years of healthy life. Conversely, reducing international health aid could result in the loss of up to 1.5 billion years of healthy life by the end of the century, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. The report urges governments to strengthen healthcare systems and invest in preventive technologies to address these early threats.
