Imagine a world where we each have our own personal tutor who knows exactly when we need more challenge, support, or motivation. Sal Khan believes AI can be that tutor.
Khan is the founder of the Khan Academy and author of several books, including the recently released Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education (and Why That’s a Good Thing). He has a unique vantage point on how smart companies can leverage AI-powered tools to make the process of teaching and skilling at work more accessible, more responsive, more personalized, and more effective.
In this episode, we discuss why the new AI era is all about enhancing human interaction, not replacing it. We also delve into Khan Academy’s experience crafting its own AI teaching tool—now running on Azure AI infrastructure, as part of our new partnership with the nonprofit—and share advice for organizations interested in creating their own AI tools.
Three big takeaways from the conversation:
WorkLab is a place for experts to share their insights and opinions. As students of the future of work, Microsoft values inputs from a diverse set of voices. That said, the opinions and findings of the experts we interview are their own and do not reflect Microsoft’s own research or opinions.
