Khan Academy CEO on AI's impact on education

Khan Academy CEO Sal Khan joins CNBC's 'Squawk Box' to discuss his new book, "Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education (And Why That's a Good Thing)," AI's impact on education, and more.

[@aaronschmidt9753]

Sal Khan should be secretary of education.

[@anzatzi]

Khan is American, and his story is American, with international impact

[@syedarmaghanhassan4652]

Not the decrrtary, but the minister

[@pin65371]

Its a shame this was only 5 minutes long with them talking over him for most of the segment.

[@shawnmercado2219]

yes but sal have you heard the kids are using chat gippity to cheat???

[@gantech7788]

Focused on the cheating and naysaying instead of what the future of tutor AI will bring. Doom and gloom bring the clickbait which makes the news garbage.

[@pin65371]

@@gantech7788 maybe they have younger kids and they are realizing their kids might not have as much of an advantage moving forward due to their wealth?

[@EvelynManley]

It's recommended to save at least 20% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 20% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.

[@rterentius]

The banks need the money to make loans. Saving only makes banks richer

[@AlfredEiji]

While that is good general advice, the unfortunate reality is that it’s a privilege of the well off. When your grocery, rent, utilities, and other basic needs use up 90-100% of your income, you become realistically impossible to put that much money in savings.

[@theguildedcage]

What is it about Khan’s voice that makes me want to learn something

[@Latenightnonsense-td5yd]

Weston’s Golden Soda Biscuits and book talk 😂

[@jtheabsolutegamer]

I love how she introduced the book as ‘Brave New World’ and not ‘Word’

[@anzatzi]

Khan! American Hero.

[@shanermahmud1086]

You mean World Hero right?

[@jonnagap87]

Completely wasted his time and ours as well. 3 hosts who just love nothing more than their own voices

[@jason_v12345]

Clearly they're more concerned with creating drama than delivering information or solving problems.

[@jason_v12345]

Let the guy finish a thought!

[@XShollaj]

Khan is an international treasure.

[@foghornblue]

Man I wish this Khan guy would stop stopping the host from interrupting his well informed takes. Doesn't he know who the star of the show is here? So rude.

[@willv88]

Andrew Sorkin is just a terrible host.

[@milothecorgi12]

I was hoping for actual discussion. What a disappointing interview. The hosts were just repeatedly rambling about how students use ChatGPT to make their essays.. Not relevant to what your guest is talking about. Cable TV networks are a trip

[@Brando853]

This woman should shut her mouth a bit more and listen to her guest. He's an expert, she clearly isn't.

[@wusup9988]

She's actually the better one out of the 3 hosts. The old guy didn't interrupt this time because they weren't talking about Bitcoin.

[@daveb4446]

This is brilliant. I can’t believe I didn’t think of this myself. It’s so obvious in hindsight

[@somali4154]

The anchors should let people who know talk rather than interrupting, wanting to appear more knowledgeable on education than the teacher himself. We already know about cheating and the whole point bring Sal was to see the better side of AI in education.

[@imaloserdude7227]

Stop interrupting him! Wow! The man has a tool and one of these three talking heads can't shut up long enough for him to complete a thought.

[@imacuser101]

we are trying to adapt to the new age, just embrace it. Teach kids to write and once they start using chatgpt writing is no longer necessary just like math and a calculator. Just give in and adopt the technology. Being a tutor is an amazing use case tho as it should help people think but I would argue we should redo the educational system to take classes on how to think not just the subjects. the material can be regurgitated and the answers found with AI, its time to leap frog the rest of the world for education and lead the way like we always have.

[@citizenm9590]

As Indian i face this at work call it what it is racism getting interupted by coworkers consistently even though they aren't smart at all smh

[@PhoticsTV]

Wow, this interview felt rushed. But overall, I liked the response from Khan… it sounds like the AI works with the teachers, like droids in Star Wars. I think this is the best possible outcome for AI, where it helps people do their jobs better… from teachers teaching to students learning.

[@STCatchMeTRACjRo]

for now but later on. it takes years to finish all education up to high school and years after that for a career. years the Ai will just improve more. Also AI wont die of old age or sickness like humans, so it will just keep experiencing more, improving its skills. After AI has 50-100 years of experience, will there be any point in educating that generation of humans?

[@MoneySavingVideos]

It is hard for most folks to pay for something when their child can get "free" education, free breakfast, free lunch, and a free babysitter. The teacher unions will also fight hard to keep their jobs.

[@paulo4371]

I was thinking of putting AI with Marcus Aurelius meditation and teaching.

[@harold1331]

As a teacher, I cannot agree more

[@salvadoran_uwu]

How to avoid cheating and laziness with AI? I think schools will carry out in-person tests weekly to grade the knowledge the students learned at home with the help of AI.

[@h.c4898]

Create and train a custom prompt that acts like a tutor. It doesn't give the answer right away but teaches students on how to get to the answer.

[@owenswabi]

@@h.c4898that doesn’t solve the problem. You need to change how the curriculum is tested

[@marcusong3954]

He sounds like he can sing slow dancing in a burning room well

[@gxbellca]

I'd love to hear your guest complete a full sentence without interuption!

[@GenghisKhanResurrected]

In ChatGPT, Chegg, and Quizlet I trust

[@allenboyer2207]

My concern is to what degree we will become codependent on AI. At the moment, it is about writing emails, papers, etc. How little will we have to learn in the future because AI will do it for us. No more spelling. No more writing. No more basic math.

[@neverclevernorwitty7821]

We're already there.

[@TimpanistMoth_AyKayEll]

People said the same thing about writing becoming widespread - that coming generations would forget how to "truly" learn (memorize) knowledge and stories and history, compared to human oral tradition up to that point. And they were 100% right!! But the benefits were worth it.

[@user-wr4yl7tx3w]

Just like mental arithmetic with calculators, is writing more important than other skills in an AI economy?

[@syedarmaghanhassan4652]

Is Jan acedemy going public?

[@SingularitySenses]

90% of people still don't get it. Now that AI is here and at such an advanced level kids in school should really only be learning how to grow food, how to build homes, how to live off the land. How to survive.

[@DG-hw8it]

Make it so you can replace teachers! Good for home schooling. 👍

[@pauldannelachica2388]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-nx9dx8qm5y]

I'm a university professor (Jesuit university in the Midwest) and can report that a significant proportion of my students use ChatGPT or some other AI program to write their papers for them. It's to the point where many of us have now concluded that giving written work outside of class is meaningless. There's detection software that flags AI-generated content, but it's not entirely accurate (gives false positives and negatives), and students find ways around it. So, while I agree that there's much potential for AI in education, my experience has made me far less sanguine about it than Mr. Khan.

Seems to me the modern education system is OUTDATED... Instead of altering the algorithm, the modern education system should LEARN to adapt to the change.

[@nah131]

the current education is the same to the to 1990s years ago

[@STCatchMeTRACjRo]

it will never cache up. the educational system takes time to update, and AI will use that time to progress and grow.

[@Agent77X]

AI will be the teacher in near future!😊

[@PSy84]

some schools are already doing it

[@nmsumike]

[@PSy84]

and we can have AI teachers personalized for you and understands you and what's best from world's database and tailor that to you

[@ollybreh95]

Woah how is that guy on the side allowed to talk on subjects he knows nothing about? And how can be so smug? What type of show is this? Surely not a place people go to be informed? Crazy

[@tvm73836]

A liberal version of Fox News

[@willv88]

Andrew Sorkin doesn't no sh** about technology, you can see in his interviews with Musk and the TikTok CEO and it's pretty obvious here. Dude needs to get fired.

[@nishantb80]

AI is definitely an enabler. However, companies creating and using AI should be taxed more so that global economic disparity could be addressed. Otherwise, corporates and a just a handful will hoard money. I am saying this as an AI developer !

[@curiouscasey2309]

Gosh let the dude talk. This interview sums up why traditional news media is increasingly irrelevant

[@TruthWielders]

Before you proceed to education, make sure you know your territory appropriately in the space of precautions against the insufficiencies of the knowledge and the deficiencies of human perceptions. Education is the most sensitive and misunderstood notion that I know of ! Too many interest are fighting over it to gain a political advantage ! Start with health, not education. A good clinician AI won't be swayed by emotions. Doctors are so pressured from all directions and so afraid they are often unable to properly express diagnostic and prognostics, no offense to them, I'd be scared too. That's because they are not respected by the medical establishment which is too political involved and forget health issues. As long as administration solutions are admonition on medical personnel, THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE !

[@djkim24601]

Sure education can benefit from AI. But the bigger question is, do we still need “education” when AI can tell us everything anyway? We just need to have the capacity to learn. That will work for a while. But after that I think humans will lose the motivation to learn anything at all.

[@DrJanpha]

How come, then, our word-spelling ability, unaided, is going nowhere, and for some, it's getting worse?

[@nicholaslwl88]

What is this gotta do with education? This is more like “How to prevent cheating”

interesting talking

[@DrPhilby]

[@_Mach3]

Let him speak! They’re the worst lol

[@lat1502]

I always felt that companies made a mistake when they look at grade scores from schools when they consider hiring someone. Cheating is just way to easy today. To me, the better way to consider someone for employment is to give them a test in the Human Resources dept. No smartphone or internet access available. You sit at a terminal and are required to write some type of essay (test for logic and grammar), test your math skills, test for basic knowledge of biology, chemistry, some type of psychological evaluation test and another test for critical thinking skills. If you have someone testing high on all these skills, what difference does it make if they had a high GPA at an Ivy league school or a community college in some remote farm community. If they cheated in college, they’re going to fail the test in the Human Resources dept.

[@STCatchMeTRACjRo]

why should, lets say someone applying for a non-chemistry job know chemistry? lets look at lawyers. 4 undergraduate education in political science, history, or economics + 3 year of law school. so should they be asked about chemistry that they didn't do for 7-8 years? or asked about political science?

[@Agent77X]

Cheating is legit only in big business negotiations!😂

Now wonder these anchors are on CNBC

[@Khujandiho]

if kids are using it to write, then let the Ai take an oral test.

[@Latenightnonsense-td5yd]

If it’s possible to cheat with AI, then it’s not a good test.

[@matthewm8289]

This woman reporter is hopeless, she just keeps interrupting him. I will go back to watching Bloomberg, they are way more professional and experienced.

[@solartrix]

So much of our schooling really is just makework, isn't it?

[@nowanatall]

These fools want to talk more than hear from the guest who has the actual knowledge on the topic?

[@elfyjohnson261]

Why Educate something that AI can solve the problems. Learn something that AI can't do and that is blue collar work.

[@STCatchMeTRACjRo]

Ai is starting to know blue collar work. example look up smart farming. "Agriculture is a perfect niche for innovations in the sphere of robotics: farmers usually have to deal with repetitive tasks in the field, and this work is primarily labor-intensive. Now agricultural robots (or “agrobots”) ...." in short any manual labor that is repetitive can be replaced by robots, eventually.

[@Little-bird-told-me]

Right now its all about...my AI is better than yours. Got to see where the penny finally drops.

[@averagemoes]

That Karen should keep her personal feelings about marijuana out of this ai conversation she is clearly not fit for it.

[@willv88]

Please get rid of Sorkin on these important segments, he's not adding value and just derails the conversation.

[@riz4141]

That shaggy looking guy is so annoying

[@sanskritclub5893]
