How AI Could Save (Not Destroy) Education | Sal Khan | TED

Khan Academy continues to do an amazing job! Do keep us posted on when this is going to be available in India.

Wonderful! But the point of education is not to just keep learning for rest of our lives. Students eventually grow up, have to find jobs, support families, pay rents, utilities, healthcare etc. But how many employees top 10 tech companies would really need eventually? Will the minimum wage salaries be enough for rest of the population? How many can be lucky to get donations from Gates foundation? How many will be motivated in creating startups focused on going beyond Mars? How many students will be motivated to learn any complex subject knowing fully well they can't afford a middle class living standard even if they grind for rest of their lives. Things are already too bad for bottom 50-60% of population. We as a society really need to think where we are headed.

This doesn't really address most AI in education, this is just a big advertisement for Khan Academy. Don't get me wrong it's great but there's not much about AI outside of Khan Academy's new ai bot.

to be clear though, students have 100% been using chat GPT to cheat in their exams xD

Quite a bit insightful on real world implementation of AI in actual learning systems to bring about an overall positive sum change in the lives of millions across the world. Thank you TED / Sal Khan and all those involved in thinking through, designing and implementing Khanmigo and bring this out as well as this video out to naive population like myself.

When i got to play with chat gpt back in February it was on version 3 and it was absolutely blowing my freaking mind. I literally sat up asking it questions for hours and hours for a month i would sit up just obsessing over it and how amazing it is.This is what khan academy is capable of with version 3, version 4 has come out and it's literally 4x more intelligent in what it's capable of generating. I'm excited to experience this for myself and i'm kind of glad i put off going to college until now because it's going to change the course and outcome of my life by making me a better student giving me the opportunities i could have only ever dreamed be possible.

Agree 👍

I don't think everyone is right

teachers won't be needed... sorry

BTW, I think what you are doing is in the right direction. Imagine what this will be like in 10 years!

Not everyone is academic. How can we get AI to identify non-academic high potentials so education is tailored for students whose needs lie there? Perhaps the AIs can be hooked into cameras with knowledge of kinematics and help identify gymnasts or assist with woodworking skills. Hook AIs up to microphones to find singing ability or improve debating or acting ability. Children are our greatest resource. Let's find a way to uncover all of the talents they possess. It must invariably lead to greater fulfilment.

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.

What this man has done for education is absolutely incredible!. Sal deserves a Nobel Prize in Education..

But will it stop the USA from taking us to a nuclear war with China? End the proxy war in Ukraine, will the wealthy who hoard their money in stocks and bonds and pay next to no taxes, will it redirects wealth from the top to the bottom and reestablish free education, free medicine, a UBI, homes for all, mass high speed public transportation, and finally will it bring democracy into the workplace ending the 200 year reign of the employers?

I see what Sal is trying to do and, at first glance, it does appear to be an efficient method of teaching, but aren't we missing the actual societal changes here? For example, when you break down the Great Gatsby to an AI interpretation and presentation, you (without knowing it) begin the process of eroding the human artist behind the work. You begin (perhaps unconsciously) to project intelligence/agency/omnipotency into a machine. In short, you eliminate the presence of the author/artist whose experience and talents (etc.) created the work to begin with! Hence, do you really understand the consequences of incorporating AI into education? I don't think Sal does or many others who endorse this unchecked AI into our society.

Too rosy tinted glasses? Not all students may be amenable to improved learning methods. AI can increase the divide between good and bad learners ?

This costs money. What about students/schools that cannot afford the ai plug in. This seems to be more of an infomercial.

Yes, AI is going to make revolution in education: after some time we will not need adulation anymore because why we have to teach stupid biological brain if we can teach AI instead. And next question - why we need biological brains existed in general.

Wow, the most balanced and positive approach to AI in education… thank you.

❤️❤️

Definitely would have been a huge help in my education, as I have ADHD and a reading disability.

I really don't see why this isn't already being used and further developed.

In a realm of intricate puzzles, individuals driven by political agendas but offering little substance find themselves adorned with the Nobel Prize in Peace, while the profound contributions of figures like Sal Khan remain unnoticed in the margins.

So basically this is just a long khan academy ai advertisement. Wow.

Video games are the future of education.

He had acces to gtp4 in August 2022???

I can’t thank enough to you Sir
your app has been very helpful to us..
It’s a blessing to all the kids.

God bless you with good health and happiness.

Sal Khan is my favourite person unarguably. A human who has had biggest impact on human race. Educated so many for free. And the best class education

Thank you sir for everything you've done and continue to do for education!

I totally agree with your ideas, Sal. Can you make Khanmigo available beyond the US?

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

Unfortunately, it is a paid service with Khan. I work at a Title One school and use Khan because it is a free resource. I would love to use this with students but my school district would not pay for it. 😢

Great, but it does not stop the ability to ask the answer on other AI.

Little disappointed.. the speaker is just selling his platform.
Ted is losing its good honest speakers.

This absolutely awesome Mr Khan. Keep up the phenomenal work.

As a high school teacher I love this.

On the chapter it says Conmingo instead of "Khanmingo"

😍

This allows no time to think 🤔

How to know if your students are using chatgpt to cheat on papers and projects? Chat gpt can't hand write papers.

Thank you for all your examples, Sal! While chat gpt can be used as a tutor, many university students are using it to complete their homework assignments without making an effort to learn. It can solve many math problems, and even explain its steps. It can also write essays and answer pretty much any assignment question. How do we combat this in higher ed?

it's not an asteriks

Caraca mano, esse cara mandou o papo

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.

Physical teachers will be gone but kids will get a better education. Why have a teacher when AI can teach you?

When I hear Sal Khan's voice I immediately feel I'm about to learn something. Wonder why might that be...

But if the ai can write the code, why waste time teaching humans? Unless there is an intrinsic value in coding

Cómo puede decir "socrático" a una interacción con IA...tiene que leer que es la mayeútica para no hacer el ridículo.😊

Anyone from Jain Uni? Let's connect!
