How AI could save (not destroy) education by Sal Khan

For years, Khan Academy has been on a mission to deliver a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. But let's be honest, the current one-size-fits-all school model often falls short of that goal. Imagine having a personal tutor who understands your strengths and weaknesses, tailors lessons to your pace, and celebrates your progress. That's the potential of AI in education, and I believe it can be the biggest positive transformation education has ever seen.


Now, some folks worry AI will replace teachers or become a crutch for cheating. Let's address those concerns. AI can't replicate the human connection and guidance a great teacher provides. But it can be a powerful tool in their hands. Imagine an AI teaching assistant that grades essays, provides targeted practice problems, and identifies students who need extra help. This frees teachers to focus on what they do best: inspiring students, fostering curiosity, and providing personalized support.




The real magic lies in AI-powered tutoring. We're developing systems that can assess a student's understanding, identify gaps in knowledge, and then create a personalized learning path. This is like having a tireless tutor who adjusts to your learning style, explains concepts in multiple ways, and never gets frustrated. Think about the countless students who could benefit from such a tool, regardless of their background or access to resources.

The road ahead isn't without challenges. We need to ensure responsible development and ethical use of AI in education.


But with careful planning and collaboration between educators, technologists, and policymakers, AI can usher in a new era of personalized learning, empowering every student to reach their full potential. Let's embrace this opportunity to create a future where education is truly accessible and effective for all.


Artificial intelligence is not a substitute for human intelligence; it is a tool to amplify human creativity and ingenuity.
