Disruptor U
Correspondent Jon Wertheim takes viewers to Austin, Texas, where a new startup university, the University of Austin, is challenging traditional academic norms. As debates over cancel culture and self-censorship continue to fuel a political divide across the country, this university positions itself as a place of ideological openness, promoting debate in the classroom.

Humans in the Loop
Lesley Stahl reports from Nairobi, Kenya, on the growing global market of “humans in the loop” – individuals who help train artificial intelligence for major American tech companies. Stahl interviews digital workers who spend countless hours teaching AI, often facing poor working conditions, low pay, and psychological trauma as a result of the intense, repetitive nature of the work. Shachar Bar-On and Jinsol Jung are the producers.
Lowriders of New Mexico
In this segment, correspondent Bill Whitaker explores the vibrant lowrider culture of Espanola, New Mexico. Once associated with a rebellious image, lowriders—vintage cars with stunning paint jobs and street-scraping suspensions—have become symbols of pride and activism within the local Hispanic community. Whitaker meets a group of “cruisers” who are rebranding lowriders as cultural custodians, artists, and community servants. The segment is produced by Rome Hartman.
