Sal Khan, the founder and CEO of Khan Academy, thinks artificial intelligence could spark the greatest positive transformation education has ever seen. He shares the opportunities he sees for students and educators to collaborate with AI tools -- including the potential of a personal AI tutor for every student and an AI teaching assistant for every teacher -- and demos some exciting new features for their educational chatbot, Khanmigo.

Sal is exactly the type of person we all thought should be in charge of education when we were in school.

[andie_pants]

I cannot adequately express my admiration for Sal Khan and everything he's done to democratize quality education.

[bnmz]

Sal deserves a Nobel Prize in Education.

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!

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 Youtube 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 😂

*What this man has done for education is absolutely incredible!*

[ChaosEmperorDragon]

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

[riolly]

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.

This man has helped so many ppl get into medical school, finish their degrees, masters and/or PhDs, and much much more. 💯❤🙏🏽

[yogeshsingla]

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.

If a Nobel Prize in Education existed,
Sal Khan's contributions to global education through Khan Academy make him a strong contender for the first award.

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?

[Y-anon]

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.

[kristapskarnitis]

Sal Khan being brilliant as always

I really hope this brings new opportunities to people who have been left behind until now.

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!

[The_Math_Enthusiast]

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.

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.

[Qrp_international]

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!!!

[youngminds]

I agree! We are working on Tammy AIto enhance the whole YouTube experience. Old problems can now be solved with new AI solutions and we know we can change the world!

[ankitadev]

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.
