  • Changping Zhao is a billionaire felon whose company enriched a Trump family business.

  • Months later, Zhao received a presidential pardon.

  • You would describe this pardon as unusual?

  • The influence that money played is unprecedented.

  • Hello, everybody.

  • The Trump firm Zhao helped is a major part of the president's family fortune.

  • All of us, whether Republican or Democrat, are independent.

  • Look at this system and say, this is a corrupt system.

  • If you're a major artificial intelligence company worth $183 billion,

  • it might seem like bad business to reveal that in testing, your AI models resorted to blackmail.

  • Why does Anthropic consider disclosures like that so essential?

  • Because you could end up in the world of like the cigarette companies or the opioid companies where they knew there were dangers and they didn't talk about them and certainly did not prevent them.

  • Fighters from 18 countries are here, trying to knock each other's heads off.

  • There's the bell.

  • But wait, now the fighters strip off their gloves and play chess?

  • This is chess boxing.

  • Chess is battle on a board, and boxing is chess with my body.

  • So when someone combined those two, I was like, yes, here's what I was made for.

  • I'm Leslie Stahl.

  • I'm Scott Pelley.
