The segment explores the concept of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and its potential impact on everything from scientific discovery to everyday life. Expect a thought-provoking discussion about the opportunities and risks associated with this rapidly evolving technology.
Finally, Anderson Cooper takes us on a journey with monarch butterflies as they make their incredible migration from Mexico to the U.S. and Canada. This visually stunning segment offers a look at the wonders of nature and the challenges these delicate creatures face in their annual trek.
