Correspondent Scott Pelley reports on President Trump’s pardon of Changpeng Zhao, founder of Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.

The firm is a major source of the Trump family’s fortune. Correspondent Anderson Cooper goes inside Anthropic, a $183 billion artificial intelligence company that’s centered its brand around AI safety and transparency. At its well-guarded San Francisco headquarters, CEO Dario Amodei warns about the potential dangers of AI, and Cooper takes a look at how Anthropic is building and testing its AI models while openly acknowledging the risks. Brains meet brawn in the world of chess boxing, a sport in which competitors face off on the chess board and also in the boxing ring. Chess boxers win by checkmate or knockout – whichever comes first. Correspondent Bill Whitaker reports from the World Chess Boxing Championships in Serbia and meets Team USA as they go for gold.
