Sal is exactly the type of person we all thought should be in charge of education when we were in school.
Yes. Imagine a world where people only applied to jobs that they are truly passionate for. Not just for the paycheck.
And in charge of the commentary surrounding it as well. Very inspiring speech. Can't wait to see what his career will hold.
@@michaelphan3521 What a great idea! Now we just have to figure out who will fill the millions of empty service jobs that keep society running and what to do with the additional millions of unemployed, uneducated people hoping to become astronauts!
That's a 2-sigma problem.
Exactly, but instead we get assholes who harm children and are focused on all the wrong things. Sal deserves all the good karma for the stuff he has been doing to advance this country.
I cannot adequately express my admiration for Sal Khan and everything he's done to democratize quality education.
It is indeed beyond words
Chatgpt can help ya
@@juansebastiansandovalcorre9254 😂 good one!
Once you know how it writes you see it everywhere, this had me rolling
I would love to see him recognized by a Piece Nobel prize for the awesome impact he has had and continues to have in so many generations. And with AI now and the open use of it we would hopefully change our educational system to meet our current needs.
Sal deserves a Nobel Prize in Education.
One hundred percent. It’s nonsense why he didn’t get one yet. I think he’s one of the most important person in education of our era, without any exaggeration . It’s crazy to think how many millions of people of all ages around the globe have been learning on khan academy a quality educational content for absolutely free, including me, who’s not even a native English speaker and never been in English speaking countries. In fact, I improved my English a lot on khan academy. I wish him to always stay humble like he is regardless of what prize he gets.
The Nobel categories are Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, Economics and Peace.
@@bajal123 they should add one for education
Then, he should have all of them...
YEEEEES
Sal's voice is so iconic. I vividly remember 2011 being stressed out about college bio and this man's voice popping up in a CZcams video showing me exactly what I needed to know but was too afraid to ask in class. I remember thinking "this is a cheat code, no one else knows about this"...but nope, we were ALL using Khan Academy 😂
Imagine the next version of this AI using Sal’s voice 🤯
His voice stressed me out tbh
*What this man has done for education is absolutely incredible!*
💯. Absolute legend
Thanks to him I saved my Master's degree lol
This man has helped so many ppl get into medical school, finish their degrees, masters and/or PhDs, and much much more. 💯❤🙏🏽
If you think about it he single-handedly helped our civilization to continue functioning properly by preparing so many professionals 🤔

I was at karaoke last night. Somebody asked me about my sister, even though she only sang a few times while she was preparing for the MCAT exam.
I told him that my sister is now a psychiatrist in San Diego. We're very proud of her. Khan Academy definitely helped her with some exam hurdles.
Thanks for learning about our work on Khanmigo and the positive uses of AI for learning! We are designing this tool for you, so we want to know--what Khanmigo features are most exciting to you and why? As a learner, parent, or teacher, what would you hope for from a tool like this?
Please let us know in the replies--your feedback means a lot!
Just want to let you know I’m a freshman in college and got A’s in calculus and chemistry because Khanmigo carried me on explaining my curriculum specific questions.
I hope Khanmigo can process new information about my university courses and correctly admit when it may not be accurate (or doesn't know something)
It would be wondeful if it not only helped the students learn, but it helped them get excited to learn. A passionate student with a powerful AI-that’s an unstoppable force.
I would love to help make that a reality!
I think it is a wonderful tool to encourage critical thinking. It could go beyond just reading comprehensions, pose questions in science, history, political science in a way that would urge students to connect the various subjects they are learning. Encouraging them to create a unified vision of the world in their minds.
Is the Khanmigo only available in English?
Man knows all his STEM subjects, even AI??? I hope he’s recorded in history as one of the most accomplished and celebrated men in history, great man and even greater teacher
this man is doing thankless work. he deserves more
He can use an off-the-shelf LLM for that. It's not his work.
@@pw7225what’s an LLM?
@@wilsonh1058 Large Language Model
@@pw7225 This is trained on their own data though
This made me tearful. Building a ethical business with high values is what Sal has done successfully. He is incredible. I wanna build a business like this based on social values and real good instead of squeezing customers for revenue.
I don’t even need to name the purple monsters but sure they can take a page from this book.
He hasn't really built a business; KA runs on donations
Isn't a business it's free
KA is a non-profit.

The awesome part is that teachers can now focus on the human part like empathy, encouragement, teaching teamwork & collaboration, discovering children's potential and needs, and many more.
As a teacher, this is exactly my hope and concern at the same time.
Only if the AI gives them accurate information 100% of the time. Imagine if the AI is used to promote propaganda. Then teachers will be unknowning teaching false or incomplete information designed to lead the students to a particular viewpoint. And all the while both the teachers and students will believe they are thinking for themselves.
@@lexpox329 Isn't that the case with us now as pre-AI? You can have many different answers and viewpoints of the same concept or thing, but people will still believe in something geared towards group think or identity. There's really no difference between AI and humans.
As a special education teacher this is what excites me the most. Right now I spend more than half of my school day doing IEP writing and data collecting. An IA could very easily write and organize for me. That would free up so much of my time so I could spend it with my students.
This comment is underrated
This man right there is responsible for me having a job today. By far the most beneficially influential person in education since the invention of public schools. Khan Academy is the greatest thing that ever got started on youtube.
I thought it was just a website, I didnt know it was on youtube too.
I am in my sixties but started using Khan Academy to learn more about biology. I was blown away by how well the whole course was put together. I thought, wow, imagine if we had that when I was at school. It was a brilliant idea. Why aren’t governments knocking down his door to learn how to teach?
Truly is a curse isn't it lol
It is incredible that you’re in your 60s and yet still seek to learn. Being a lifelong learner is one of the best things a person can be. Good for you!
@@leomiller2291 Thanks. It's what keeps us young. When we lose our curiosity, our desire to learn, I think we start on a downward path.
Maybe the Governments have a vested interest in keeping people uneducated.
Special interest is my guess
Sal Khan being brilliant as always
I really hope this brings new opportunities to people who have been left behind until now.
to poor people
I am 24 years old and the solution to such problems has sparked in my mind some time ago... I am extremely happy and positive about the future of education. I think there is so much more to cover and hopefully one day I will be a part of it. Best of luck on your ideas! We need to revolutionise, or at least improve - give different perspectives to the educational system as a whole in the entire world.
@lockeddownboxing9904, it's fantastic to hear your enthusiasm and optimism about the future of education! Your belief in the need for revolutionizing and improving the educational system aligns with the ideas shared in the TED talk. It's inspiring to see individuals like yourself recognizing the importance of different perspectives and the potential for positive change. With your passion and determination, there's no doubt that you can make a meaningful impact in the field of education. Best of luck on your journey, and may your ideas contribute to a brighter and more inclusive future for learners worldwide!
As a 10th-grade student studying in China, I am amazed by the incredible resource that is Khan Academy. The quality and quantity of lectures available are simply astonishing. The purpose that Khan Academy serves is truly inspiring, and I can't wait to see what Mr. Khan has in store for the future. People like him are shaping education and the world. Thank you for everything, Mr. Khan!
@Hy-wm5bv, it's wonderful to hear how Khan Academy has made a significant impact on your education as a 10th-grade student in China. The wealth of high-quality lectures available on Khan Academy is indeed remarkable and provides invaluable resources for learners worldwide. Your appreciation for the purpose and inspiration that Khan Academy serves is heartening. Sal Khan's dedication to shaping education and making it more accessible is truly commendable. It's exciting to think about the future and the potential advancements that Mr. Khan will bring. Thank you for sharing your gratitude, and here's to continued success and growth in your educational journey with Khan Academy and beyond!
@@HenryHarrington2003, I couldn't agree more with your sentiments. The impact of Khan Academy on global education is truly profound. It's inspiring to see how it has transformed learning experiences for students like @Hy-wm5bv. The dedication of Mr. Khan and his team to democratize education and make it accessible to all is indeed commendable. As we look forward to the future, the potential for further advancements in education through platforms like Khan Academy is exciting. Here's to the continued success of learners worldwide and the transformative power of education!
I thought CZcams was banned in china
@@herp_derpingson basically everyone has a VPN
I loved the bit about 'AI thoughts' and khanmigo being able to understand student misconceptions and work from there, possible only because of individual tutoring. It's what we refer to as the 'pause', mulling over the student's response and asking follow up questions to understand how the student is processing the problem, to support them better. That's really powerful and something teachers struggle with because of large student numbers in Indian classrooms. Something more significant it leaves us, both teachers and students, is to then think about- 'what's worth teaching and learning'. I hope this new era of AI enabled education shifts our collective mental models on this subject.
Absolutely incredible. The ways we can collaborate with AI is amazing, it doesn’t have to be a threat to education. Since using chatGPT I’ve started understanding concepts so much better and I can only imagine how a specifically coded AI-tutor can transform the educational space. Great work!!!
It was never a threat to education, iits a threat to jobs. It was only ever a bonus to education the same way google and the internet helped advance education.
People just strawman/gaslight arguments and people don't critically analyse what they say to see if its even valid or true before carrying on the discussion
"It's easy to focus on the potential downsides of AI in education, but doing so prevents us from realizing the many ways it can revolutionize learning. Let's shift our focus to harnessing the power of AI to create a more effective, equitable, and engaging educational experience for everyone." -GPT-4
Spoken like the true progeny of a mad scientist. And using the word "equitable" - dead give away. C'mon man, can't you see where this GPT-4 thing got its programming?
"Equitable", huh?
You could already do this for years by searching stuff on the internet
@@male3083 have you considered that chatGPT is literally free for anyone to use as long as they have an internet connection? that's as free and equitable as it gets. same with Khan Academy. no geographic constraints, minimal economic constraints(libraries often have free-to-use computers with internet access). It literally can't get more equitable right now.
@@vongobbler7486 Are you kidding me? On Kahn Academy: "Only available to people living in the US"!
As an adult learner, this gives me immense hope to catch up with what I feel passionate about pursuing as a career despite uncontrollable life setbacks. Thank you Khan Academy.
Learning will now be accessible for the forgotten, misplaced, and abandoned.
As a PhD Student in Machine learning/Data Science. Who was once a Special Ed student.
I'm so excited for all current and future students. 🎓
There is insane potential for uplifting all of humanity here. What a time to be alive
This is one of the handful of people that inspired me to go back to school and finish a degree in computer science. Can’t wait to see the positive impact this will do for others!
Me too!
I just want to take this opportunity to thank Sal Sir. I was in grade 8 when I first discovered Khan Academy and started watching his lectures on Math. I really loved them and finished my math till grade 10 in grade 8 itself. Today, I am a first year student of Computer Science at IIT Delhi. I wouldn't have made it this far without Sal sir. Thank you.
His voice is so soothing. Even when I didn’t know what he looked like I could feel connected to his teaching. Regardless of common belief, one man can actually make a difference. Sal you beauty❤ Wish you good health
I agree! We are working on Tammy AIto enhance the whole CZcams experience. Old problems can now be solved with new AI solutions and we know we can change the world!
Absolute homerun by Sal Kahn and Kahn Academy team!

Sal Khan is such an amazing educator! In just a few minutes, he manages to convice a crowd of people scared by AI to be excited for it's implementation... *OUTSTANDING*
It's great to see Sal Khan still kicking in this field. I learned about him back in the early days of Khan academy, when the website still looked simple with youtube links.
I'm past the school and college point. My sources of knowledge is majorly by other people, like CZcamsrs.
THIS, is like a miracle for me. I'm learning with so much positive impacts that I can't begin to explain.
I was told by someone, "This is artificial afterall."
Well, personally, all my life I felt like people like college professors, they act in a certain manner, which can be considered "not real", but why should you care, focus on what you can learn.
This applies directly to AI models as well when it comes to teaching. In real world, majority of teachers just cannot pay individual attention and cannot possibly cater the specific needs of a single student. But with AI, it is very much possible.
I love this. This ChatGPT wave since November only brought 1 thing in my life. Ease of access to knowledge and understanding. And I'm glad it happened.
In this video, when that girl conversed with the AI for "The Great Gatsby" assignment. It blew my mind. THIS IS MARVELOUS! Wonderfully presented the capabilities of AI teaching method.
Mr. Sal Khan, not just the Khan academy but you are a gift of Providence as well. The society will always be indebted to you.
Thank you 🙏
used to listen to sal's voice growing up trying to learn concepts on youtube. he's a shining example of how to make education fun, interactive, and worthwhile. he continues to innovate
They should give it text-to-voice. Realistic text-to-voice is easy to implement. Voice makes chat interactions much more engaging which is important for easily distracted kids.
They'll probably do it at some point
Thank you Sal for pushing education forward!
This looks so awesome. As a special education teacher, I am almost always teaching students at completely different levels at the same time. This would provide so many more opportunities for targeted learning focused on responding to each student's particular needs (e.g., identifying/correcting misconceptions, simplifying, elaborating, providing examples, reframing, connecting to previous learning, pacing). Not super happy about the price tag, but paying out of my own pocket for the needs of my students is nothing new.
what an amazing human being. positivity and action bias to solve world problems. a true teacher. thank you sal khan for all that you do.
My friend has a learning disability and she has a hard time expressing what she means in emails. I told her to use ChatGTP and now she's thanking me. She was embarrassed telling her friends or like me to help her and now she feels relieved, confident, and independent. Thanks AI🎉
Started studying math from almost 0 level with Khan academy about a month ago, proudly got to the systems of equations, and discovered chat gpt.
I love how chat gpt, even in free version helps me with various things, and how I can ask anything, it's faster than scrolling through google search, and can be a good motivator when you're feeling down. I'm very excited to see how khanmigo is going to turn out. Being disappointed in old school teaching systems, I see a great potential in AI as to increase HI worldwide.
I can't help but appreciate Sal Khan's perspective on these things. I was quite divided on this whole ChatGPT situation but this video has really shown me how ChatGPT can shape the future of our education. I hope all goes well!
Sal, all those lessons listening to a very pleasant voice, and I recognized your voice and now have your face to go along with it. I am 65 yrs old still learning so I can keep the kids interested in Math. Now I have some hope with AI as a positive learning/ teaching tools versus just the negative side of cheating and learning nothing!
Thank You
Admiration is the least I can say about Sal and his work, that honestly, I had never heard about here in Brazil and was shocked to see that all of the classes are available in Portuguese, for free! This is absolutely amazing.
Wow I just heard about this in a meeting with a very smart tech person. The potential to making one on one tutoring for all students and high quality teaching assistance available is so exciting. Great talk.
As someone who uses ChatGPT for tutoring myself, I am very excited for this as it has helped me understand and grow as a student.
It's so cool to put a face with the voice! This guy has helped me overcome my math anxiety. God bless this gentleman!
Sal's brilliance comes through in every word he speaks. He said a lot of things that many of us think are the positives of AI but don't quite articulate as well.
What a great, positive message.
Wow, the most balanced and positive approach to AI in education… thank you.
Sal Khan has affected my life in ways I can't describe; very invigorating to see this talk from him and witnessing his enthusiasm for using these tools for improving education. Definitely one of the few philanthropists I can name.
I wouldn't use the term philanthropists because there are insidious philanthropists, humanist might be more appropriate.
@@kiriInvestigator4597 insidious philantropist is a paradox... Humanism has nothing to do with humanitary action but with creed. You're probably describing Humanitarianism.
Our society would benefit greatly from appreciating and encouraging Mr. Khan's heart, soul, mind and dedication.
I think this is so spot on. I've been thinking some of the same things, we have to take a proactive approach to making the birth of this technology go in the right direction. I have always had an abiding respect and appreciation for Sal Khan, I'm so glad to see him out front on this.
I'm curious how much power this tool gives a teacher for student performance reviews since Khanmigo would have an excellent understanding of the students' strengths and weaknesses.
This man is literally a living legend. Thanks for the Calc help!
Sal Khan is amazing! His total free platform for education, Khan Academy, has been my savior on studying! He deservers many and many prizes for his contribution!
Very well put Sal!!! I have worked with AI research before but stopped. But now you have convinced me to take it up. Not just for myself, but for all life on the planet!! Kudos for all your contributions.
Loved it. It resonated with me so much: we are all participants. We are all actors in this scene. The outcomes depend on us.
Sal Khan's dedication to education and his missions is amazing. I'm just trying to help my sister, but I'm trying my best. It's inspiring to see someone who cares so much, and does so much. I'm glad to have such an amazing source of inspiration. He will always be a role model to me.
I owe my entire life's education to Sal Khan. I would not be where I am today without him. He has helped me with everything from Biochemistry to Calculus to Art History. Just brilliant.
You have time tellers and clock makers. Sal is a clock maker....will be remembered for generations as a force that made such a huge difference. He is so authentic!
I was teaching in primary education when web connected, interactive white boards were the new thing. The most successful teachers got them first, it did nothing for disruptive disenfranchised kids. I can see that this has huge potential but for communities where classroom management, child safety abd school infrastructures are significant problems it will jot help improve education when the system is already failing.
I cant express how hopeful this makes me for my younger cousins in school who can get access to such amazing tutor which can make learning dramatically better then what exists today ❤
ah and what will they use that education for when in 5 years no one will have job as AI can do anything mutch beter then any human by then, we have all the means right now to make it so every kid have food and health acces and we dont do that, AI revolution will just make things worst for everyone exept ultra ritch that will be getting money from all AI work. Kids born now in mid to low incom families have 0% chance to advance in their life.
I always appreciate Sal for being forward looking
I didnt know much about sal khan but I searched about him after listening to this impressive talk. I am fascinated by him. he seems like an amazing genius
This is exactly a project I plan to build when i finish learning programming. So amazing to see it being incorporated in khan academy today.
Welldone Khanmigo! Great job to open AI and Khan academy.😊😊❤
This dude bout to revolutionize education... twice
where's the first?
@@kingki1953 khan academy, then formally bringing AI to education
one of the best talks I've encountered, thanks for the hope and action sal!
Sal has helped me turn my life around through Kahn academy I feel so indebted to him I felt like he was the teacher I allways needed, what a great guy ❤
This is amazing!
Literally one to one engagement where one student are engaged with one personal tutor to effectively learn concepts faster and minimise any distraction on the way without being judged or fear.
and what does student need to be educated for, in few years if AI advances as expected and corporations chase profits like they do now, no one will have any job or future exept few selected ppl. Guverments for sure aint gona restrict or control AI, we are heading to total corporate rule.
@@countzero7true dystopian
A living legend, continuing to be legendary.
I am glad there are people like Sal out there.
Sal Khan is one of the most important innovators in education. His platform should be incorporated into all public schools.
I wonder how many subjects I would have explored and mastered, had tools like these been around when I was in school... genuinely think I am going to get addicted
Planning is one of the best parts of teaching. The problem is marking, when it is said that AI can save you time when planning I felt sad (and it is tragic that the audience gave the applause), planning is about creativity, why should I give up my creativity for a computer?
I just can’t believe this is happening in my lifetime, so much hope, thank you Sal.
Sal Khan ............ I don't have words to express my gratitude towards Khan Academy. What a wonderful free platform to learn. Amazing work, God bless you and your team.
I think this tool is amazing. However, a huge part of learning is the struggle and perseverance you must have to finish challenging problems. If I am stuck at every step of the way and get hints to finish every assignment, how is this motivating students to store knowledge for the long haul and in their long term memory?
I've had the privilege to be given beta access to Khanmigo, and it really is such an amazing tool for anybody seeking to learn. Having the ability to take any math problem from Khan academy, and have it actually guide me through the specifics of what I don't understand is really great. Being able to have my education so personalized for free is just amazing. I also really enjoy the debate feature, I would have loved to have had a debating partner at my finger tips whenever I wanted back in highschool debate club, it feels like having a really good chess bot to practice against. I think I as an individual though can't even fully grasp how amazing this will be on a mass scale, while this has given me access to so many benefits, when this is given to everyone it really could raise the ceiling of what your average person is capable of.
Sal is such an amazing entrepreneur! I am in awe of what he has achieved
The moment I got to try Bing AI sparked my interest in wanting to learn again. (My country does not have chat GPT yet) Combined with this incredible gift from Mr. Khan, I am so overjoyed! Now i can freely ask anything I’m stuck at without being judged or considered stupid by my peers or lecturers.
This man is a legend of education and will go down as a pioneer for AI and learning in general. Honestly I just want to drive this video so more people can see this speech, AI is pretty scary, and totally amazing, so we need more people to see things like this which set the right frame of mind as we deal with this turning point in history.
Millions and millions of people around the world, myself included, are lucky enough to call Sal their teacher. Feels like watching proudly a close friend giving a TED talk. Remember counting Jack Nicholsons, and laughing at "two hundredTHS" - this man is a treasure ✨
Very balanced approach and pretty convincing! Congratulations, Sal!!
Thank you sir for everything you've done and continue to do for education!
I'm really impressed by the work you've done to make ChatGPT more magical and Socratic. It's inspiring to see how AI can be used to enhance human intelligence and potential.
Reading your comment and others I get the impression that you were never trained to think at school.
Or did your parents not tell you to question: who, what, where, when, why?
I know this is sometimes called Reflection or Self-reflection and it does take your own time and uses your own brain but your own brain is very portable and always with you.
Think of this as a general reply to comments.
.My spouse and I are adding a variety of stocks/ETF to my present holdings for the long term, We've set aside $250k to start following inflation-indexed bonds and stocks of companies with solid cash flows, I believe it is a good time to capitalize on the market for long-term gains, but it wouldn't hurt to know means of actualizing short term profit.
Having an investment adviser is the best way to go about the market right now, especially for near retirees, I've been in touch with a coach for awhile now mostly cause I lack the depth knowledge and mental fortitude to deal with these recurring market conditions, I nettd over $220K during this dip, that made it clear there's more to the market that we avg joes don't know
Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. hence I will suggest you get yourself a financial-Advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist.

12:33 the most significant part, this way of putting additional layer that can be customized to anything for different purpose is very critical.
Absolutely brilliant! This is incredible, total game changer for our crumbling education system.
Thank you, Sal! Thank you, Khan Academy!
It’s such a shame I am going to miss this. Studying the SAT with a personal AI tutor completely changes it’s dynamic, because paying for tutors isn’t as much as an advantage.
I've been waiting for this talk for weeks and it's finally here 😭😭
I didn't do well in math in high school. I was afraid to take it again but needed to if I wanted to go to university. A decade ago, I found Khan Academy and started doing really well. I aced calculus and got a chance to meet Sal in person and thank him. Since then, I graduated university and am now an engineer.
Thanks again, Sal! You changed my life!
would you say that calculus on khan acadmey has been helpful? im a pre-med student struggling with math as I wasnt the best in math in high school
@@erickvillaverde1444 it was very useful at the time but that was years ago. I imagine the videos have been updated and perhaps their curriculum as well. Definitely worth checking out. I mostly watched videos on topics I needed help with.
Even regular ChatGPT is a blessing for me with adhd. I love the way it manages to explain stuff to me in a concise, straight to the point manner.
Such an amazing Ted Talk, Sal Khan is a gem to education MashAllah! LOVED the ending 'AI can be used to enhance HI, human intelligence, human potential and human purpose' and I think YES it can and it will :)
Amazing. This is true that AI can be great alternative especially for people who can't afford professional services or university degrees.
But do they really kno the information or do the computer kno it?? Researching things takes time and effort that’s how your brain store information if u get the information fed to you, u didn’t learn it u regurgitated it!
@@kendodie Did you listen to the TED Talk? It explains how the AI acts as a tutor. It doesn't give you the answers. It refuses to do that. Instead it asks questions to guide you in figuring out how to get the answer on your own.

Sal Khan and Khan Academy is always at the peak of independent study. Now he’s one of my favourite TED talkers.
If I had this in school, I would have done a lot better in math.
With less effort right… that would have made your test scores even worse
if I had this at university, I would have needed half the time
@@kendodie ehh I've taken a lot of math courses at university and even I found BingAI to be helpful at explaining how to do college level problems
@@kendodie You dont know that. Im sure people thought the same thing when the calculator was invented and look at society, it advanced far beyond of what we were. Same was said when computers were invented
@@kendodie LMFAO!!!!
As far as the Gatsby part goes, I argue that little exchange was actually a detriment to the student, not an aid. Instead of making her think, it just gave her answer. She never had to read, she never had to try. This is turning out to be a real shame.
I agree that reading several literature reviews and constructing a similar answer herself would have been more educational overall, but I don't think using AI in this way is much different from attending a lecture or watching a youtube explainer - in which an expert essentially gives a student the 'correct' interpretation of a topic.
Perhaps an important skill for students using AI to learn is to ask follow-up questions, such as: 'who first stated this?', 'are there any alternative perspectives?', or 'where can I find a discussion of this topic?'. That's also something that AI educators can be trained to provide within their answers, prompting the student to weigh up elements of one argument relative to another, or suggesting exercises that could improve understanding.
Teaching students that learning is about critical thinking and interpreting information rather than regurgitating it is a challenge as it is, and AI tools are sure to complicate things - but with some training and forward thinking I think that educators can help students get the best out of them.

Love Sal and what he's done with Khan Academy! Back when I was in high school, I would often refer to Khan Academy for conceptual understanding. It is one of the first ed-tech startups I knew, which has been committed to the vision of enhancing school education. I have donated to Khan Academy for a while but haven't yet done so recently, but I don't think I'll be able to sustain it given that I'm not earning. However, I'm super excited about what Khanmigo is bringing to the table and about the state of generative AI.
Sal, this is a great staff. There is hope that this AI trend, with contribution from people like you, can move in the right direction.
I'm still not used to seeing his face while hearing his voice
At the end of the day, the question is “Will students use it that way?” We all know how every generation expects the next one to learn. “Use computer to learn to code” and most end up just playing games. The use case must be asked from the students. This is adults assuming a way of learning THEY wish they had.
