During his talk, Sal gave a live demo of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.khanacademy.org\/khan-labs\">Khan Academy\u2019s new AI-powered guide, Khanmigo<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Khanmigo: A comprehensive AI tutor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of worrying about students using AI to cheat, Sal said we should focus on the positive use cases. Khanmigo not only detects students\u2019 mistakes, but it also identifies misconceptions in their understanding and provides effective feedback. It can help students with math and computer programming exercises and can provide context-aware help for video content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-fv-player-gutenberg-basic\"><div id=\"wpfp_3054fd01e78a4b7607d7e412f6bf0218\" data-item=\"{&quot;sources&quot;:[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/blog.khanacademy.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/04\\\/Sal-TED_Video-Slide-1.mp4&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;video\\\/mp4&quot;}],&quot;id&quot;:&quot;2&quot;}\" class=\"flowplayer no-brand is-splash is-paused skin-slim no-svg fp-slim fp-edgy\" data-fv-embed=\"https:\/\/billcorrigan.com\/updates\/?p=6037&amp;fv_player_embed=fvp-2\" style=\"position:relative; max-width: 720px; max-height: 480px; \" data-ratio=\"0.6667\">\n\t<div class=\"fp-ratio\" style=\"padding-top: 66.67%\"><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"fp-ui\"><noscript>Please enable JavaScript<\/noscript><div class=\"fp-play fp-visible\"><svg class=\"fp-play-sharp-fill\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 100 100\"><defs><style>.fp-color-play{opacity:0.65;}.controlbutton{fill:#fff;}<\/style><\/defs><title>play-sharp-fill<\/title><path class=\"fp-color-play\" d=\"M49.9217-.078a50,50,0,1,0,50,50A50.0564,50.0564,0,0,0,49.9217-.078Z\"\/><polygon class=\"controlbutton\" points=\"73.601 50 37.968 70.573 37.968 29.427 73.601 50\" filter=\"url(#f1)\"\/><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"fp-preload\"><b><\/b><b><\/b><b><\/b><b><\/b><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='fvp-share-bar'><ul class=\"fvp-sharing\">\r\n    <li><a class=\"sharing-facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbillcorrigan.com%2Fupdates%2F%3Fp%3D6037\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/li>\r\n    <li><a class=\"sharing-twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=The+Performance+Pro+&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbillcorrigan.com%2Fupdates%2F%3Fp%3D6037\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/li>\r\n    <li><a class=\"sharing-email\" href=\"mailto:?body=Check%20out%20the%20amazing%20video%20here%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fbillcorrigan.com%2Fupdates%2F%3Fp%3D6037\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/li><\/ul><div><a class=\"sharing-link\" href=\"https:\/\/billcorrigan.com\/updates\/?p=6037\" target=\"_blank\">Link<\/a><\/div><div><label><a class=\"embed-code-toggle\" href=\"#\"><strong>Embed<\/strong><\/a><\/label><\/div><div class=\"embed-code\"><label>Copy and paste this HTML code into your webpage to embed.<\/label><textarea><\/textarea><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Khanmigo encourages Socratic dialogue and debate by providing a safe space for students to fine-tune their arguments, which can give them more confidence in class. It has been designed to write&nbsp;<em>with<\/em>&nbsp;students rather than for them. It encourages collaborative story writing and provides feedback on drafts, which helps students improve their writing abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to see Khanmigo in action? Khan Academy invites users based in the United States to explore and test AI\u2019s capabilities by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.khanacademy.org\/khan-labs\">joining the Khanmigo waitlist<\/a>. Your feedback is crucial in shaping the future of education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A teaching assistant, powered by AI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For teachers, Khanmigo acts as a comprehensive teaching assistant by explaining answers and teaching methods, helping with lesson planning, and creating progress reports. This allows teachers to spend more time and energy on one-on-one interactions with their students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Positive and appropriate interactions&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe that AI can transform education, but we also understand that it comes with limitations and risks.That\u2019s why we clearly communicate these limitations to every parent, teacher, and child who uses Khanmigo. We limit the amount of interaction individuals can have with the AI per day. Additionally, each child\u2019s chat history and activities are visible to parents or guardians and teachers so they can stay informed and involved in their child\u2019s education. Our platform also uses moderation technology to detect inappropriate interactions, and when it does, it sends an automatic email alert to an adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your role in the future of AI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sal emphasized that everyone has a role to play in shaping the future of AI in education. \u201cWe all have to fight like hell for the positive use cases,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through responsible and innovative AI applications like Khanmigo, education has the potential to undergo an unprecedented transformation, accelerating learning and fostering human potential like never before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sal Khan believes that artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform education for the better. \u201cWe\u2019re at the cusp of using AI for probably the biggest positive transformation that education has ever seen,\u201d he said in his 2023 TED talk.
