Bird Flu
Correspondent Bill Whitaker reports on the alarming rise of bird flu, which has now made the leap from wild birds to cows. The virus has spread rapidly through dairy herds and poultry flocks across the U.S. and has even infected humans, leading to 70 confirmed cases, including one death. Veterinarians and virologists warn that if this outbreak is not contained, it could evolve into a new pandemic. The segment also examines concerns about the slow response from the Biden administration and the Trump administration’s decision to lay off over 100 key scientists working on this critical issue. This segment is produced by Heather Abbott.

Pelley returns to DeepMind’s headquarters in London to discuss what’s next for Hassabis and the next big leap in AI. This segment is produced by Denise Schrier Cetta.
