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.

  13. Impressive work Sal.. the future is exciting, embracing AI at a young age will be beneficial for young minds, but also comes with its challenges in other areas. A well balanced approach can go long way..

  21. ‘Just a tutor’ as opposed to… I believe the Khan Academy has employed some 200+ teachers to create and deliver the lessons. It may have started as Khan tutoring family members but has grown beyond that. Why was it needed?
    We can all think back to when at school on the teachers who were good at getting information across – and those who were not. Especially in more complex subjects such as physics or, say, statistics. Why the difference? What if you could recreate the things the good teacher did?
    Most schools do not teach you how to learn. They are trying to impart info you are expected to remember and, therefore, learn. But not how to learn. Great books like Make it Stick show how most teachers don’t know or understand how we learn or how information moves from short term memory to long term memory. When you look at how Khan Academy is structured it does apply most of that thinking. Educational departments are signing up Khan Academy – likely to supplement their programs – but many will actually learn more from Khan Academy than their classroom teacher.
    We still need a real person to prod us, provoke us, encourage us to learn – so I am not proposing we get rid of teachers but there are many areas we take for granted and have not looked at more deeply. Same for the way doctors diagnose patients. They all do it differently with varying levels of success. When anything is reliant on the variations and vagaries of individuals over a systemic approach, we are going to get dramatic variance in results.

  23. I was in grade 9 when I discovered Khan Academy. I will never forget his voice guiding me through those black boards 🥲 currently doing my masters in science and I need to credit him for getting through my those primitive days.

  27. This all is lovely but misses something MAJOR: most students don’t actually care about any of this content. They want passing grades and to move on. So all of this wonderful stuff assumes students want to go on the journey and are curious and are willing to collaborate with AI and explore. None of that is true in the majority. Most kids are apathetic to subject and/or they only care about grades (pressure from parents or to get into college). Very few students want to do this hard work. They want shortcuts, not thinking.

  29. Sal, thank you! Because of your videos, I got through all of my math and science classes in college in 2011. And, now, all these years later, your videos are once again helping me in my first year of being a secondary ed. math teacher.

  31. The Khan Academy takes forever to load from page to page and lacks AP Language and Literature fields. If the loading time can be reduced so it is not often timing out and these subjects added, that would be great.

  37. This is one of the best TED talks I have seen. I turn Bloom’s 2 Sigma problem into a 2 Sigma opportunity.
    One way is to facilitate Socratic Debates.
    Combine this with a knowledgeable 1-on-one tutor and you are 4 steps ahead of the rest.

    Using curated AI is a good start.

  43. Ai was a program made in Afghanistan..the programers name is ABDUL JAKOL SALSALANI….HE DISCOVER THIS PROGRAM WHEN HE IS IN THE COMFORTROOM…DOING SOMETHING TO HIM SELF..! AFTER WASHING HIS HAND BECAUSE ITS TO SLIMMY THAT WHERE HE HAVE A VISION OF Ai..THAT THE HISTORY OF Ai …

  53. This man got me through many many years of going in and out of Jail I much respect for Sal and khan academy one of the beautiful things about knowledge is it belongs to no one it does not judge you all it requires is a willingness to seek it. Sals classes help me get my GED gave me a better understanding of my heritage and helped make me feel more patriotic and proud of who I was and being a part of life. All this he helped me with while I was in a jail cell so Sal if you do see this thank you.

  61. AI in education enhances learning by personalizing instruction, automating administrative tasks, and providing real-time feedback to students. It helps tailor content to individual needs, making education more accessible and efficient. Additionally, AI tools can assist teachers with grading and identifying learning gaps, allowing for more targeted support.
