Summary

As contempt for cancel culture and self-censorship on college campuses continues to drive a political divide across the country, correspondent Jon Wertheim reports on a new start-up university, the University of Austin, in Austin, Texas. Labeled by some as an “anti-woke university,” Wertheim speaks to the founders, students, and advisors, about how they believe they’re disrupting modern academia by fostering debate and ideological openness in their classrooms. As chatbots continue to evolve, Lesley Stahl reports from Nairobi, Kenya, on the growing market of “humans in the loop” – workers around the world who help train AI for big American tech companies. Stahl speaks with digital workers who have spent hours in front of screens teaching and improving AI, but complain of poor working conditions, low pay, and undertreated psychological trauma. Correspondent Bill Whitaker cruises through Espanola, New Mexico, a town that’s a hub of lowrider culture: vintage American automobiles with vibrant paint jobs and street-scraping suspensions. He meets a community of “cruisers” who are turning their hobby’s bad-boy reputation on its head, paving a new route as activists and community servants, and claiming a place as custodians of Hispanic culture and champions of fine art.
