Yes, let's hope Sal Khan gets a Nobel while he is still relatively young. Sal has done more work to truly uplift children than most Governments on this planet.
I know of Khan academy for years. Good reminder. I see that the site web is also in French I will show it to my nephews (6 an 9 years old, their English isn't that good) Happy to have seen this video.
Please consider listening to your guest! Sal Khan has said it many times: Khanmigo! 4 syllables! It's not Khan-A-Migo, with 5 syllables. Khanmigo. Khanmigo.
Regarding the low usage of the Kahn Academy via smart phones by poor people in the world: note that digital, or even local language competent literacy is still far out of the rea h of most. Here in BRAZIL, the minimum monthly salary for an adult is around R$1500, a household of two adults and 2 children simply cannot afford to purchase an android smart phone to dedicate to their children (at least R$900 plus about $50 a month for crappy internet). Not to speak of the fact that parents are themselves semi-literate, have no clear understanding of the educational process, have very little time given long commutes to and from work, no childcare help to speak of, no assistance from the schools which are very bureaucratic, underfunded and under-staffed! And of course, there is no effort by anyone to inform teachers, parents and kids!
apologies - I used to cut all that out but now have a producer who leaves it in. I'm a slow thinker and halting speaker, which is why I chose to be a print journalist. getting worse as I get old.
@eyeonai3425 Maybe old but your questions where very insightful I really appriciate your video it is one of the best with him I found because you ask the right questions. Would have helped if you had tried the tools before speaking to him because then you would have come across some of the weaknesses of the current software. Some things dont work as well as one might expect. I am not a teacher but as a scool I would see that it might be very shallow in its answears especially if you get in hiher classes where the questions get deeper. I make an example. I asked it to explain a catalyst and it described it well based on many sources found online but then I asked how can I make an experiment at home to see the effect of catalysts and it gave me a list of ingrediants probably knoone has at home. I tried multiple waya to give me a better answear but it was not able to. So you cant rely on the tool as a school I would not incorperate it if it breaks so quickly because than it is more of a problem for the techer he has to fix rather than a solution. Also I tried programming ant it did not work. Another issue is when the Bot is unsure and it aks the student to explain his steps again is it doing this step to help the student or force the student to help himself? Thats a bad design decision when the student is not in the center of every action. Some areas LLMs are just not good at I believe they should not be used in the area as long as they are bad. Khab acedemy seems to fast with it when it is not ready. I am here vecause I think of building something similar but only for teaching computerscience in higher classes because here I see great potential and most things students need to learn in cs might be supported by the gpt4 with code interpreter and even some open source models. Also they offer it for younger students too ehich might be not the best idea since young people might need the interaction with humans more. But I dont know the best age to be able to start using it I think older students have no risk ehen using ai so I focus on them first and see if it works out for them. But again great questions freat interview. Almost all these Question went through my head as well when thinking about Khanmingo and I would has asked him the same.
Sal Khan should get a Nobel prize. That's how great this guy is.

I like Sal's positivity on the usefulness of AI in education. Teachers start using AI.
Khan Academy for life!
Great job 👏

Awesome I'm teaching AI in early learning ed

this is a good channel
He says its available in 50 languages, cool, but It is still only available in the US and not outside...
Would appreciate the separation of the ad information from the rest of the video as is the standard on RUclips.

will make it WORSE
There is a catch. It's called cultural hegemony
What’s the alternative? Let underserved populations remain uneducated and subject to populism?
Sal Khan a noblist...
The stuttering and mental slowness of the interviewer is almost annoying, compared to the agility of Sal Khan.
