Khan Academy CEO on how AI will change education

[@yolanbravo9628]

This is amazing! I can't tell you how much AI has improved the educational outcome of some of my special-needs students. And to have even more at my fingertips, is simply a blessing. Khan Academy has been a game changer for my little ones and I can't thank you enough for providing educators with these tools and resources.

[@jayasmrmore3687]

If used correctly AI definitely is beneficial

Education for children today is in the context of an emerging global digital platform that will be able to have conversations with millions of people around the world at the same time, and to merge the knowledge and sentiment expressed in those conversations into representations of the collective will of humanity.

[@WorldInterestingNews]

No matter how sophisticated AI is, it will not be able to replace teachers in the world of education because education is not only about knowledge but there is a touch of emotion, social life, spiritualism, ethical practices and other things that machines like AI will not have.

Have applications out at 5 universities to become an high school English teacher. Am definitely gonna withdraw my applications. We’re looking at massive disruption; like the Industrial Revolution, but this time it’s the Cognitive Revolution

[@starventure]

The problem is there are/were too many teachers out there who were there for the paycheck only, and never really cared to interact and communicate with the students. Anyone who sees this and believes that there will be less need for teachers in the future has a screw loose.

[@snorremortenkjeldsen6737]

@@starventureWhile I do agree with you to a certain extent, I also think it depends on what subject we’re talking about, and what age group. Of course there is a strong social element to education that AI will never be able to replace, but don’t you think an AI tutor will soon be able to teach a language as good, or better than a human language teacher?

[@OivvV-x1l]

​@@snorremortenkjeldsen6737 i don't think so. You have the power to comprehend the feelings of a particular student much better than AI. AI is a tool; but students are learning their way in the world and may not be able to use this tool very well.

[@iainmackenzieUK]

The only teachers that will be made redundant will be those who are unable (or unwilling) to demonstrate their ability to use AI to best effect.

[@urhot]

You’re wrong. There will be less teachers needed overall

[@iainmackenzieUK]

Be realist Mr Khan! I am a Physics teacher. If introducing AI saves me 5 hours per week then my boss will find something else for me to do. Quite rightly actually - thats his job. but I will not be twiddling my fingers for half a day a week.

[@aceyage]

Selling teachers and education as a government controlled sector out to a private company like Microsoft. AI needs to be made open source and the training data needs be made transparent by law. Companies deploying AI need to have a much higher tax rate and equal wealth redistribution (done by the government and not corporations) has to happen. We need to put an end to the rise of tech feudalism before governments lose control.

[@antoniomacchi4230]

IA is a "new" kind of teacher!

[@kuanghienz3366]

Currently, artificial intelligence can only serve as an auxiliary tool in teaching. However, in the future, it will completely replace teachers, especially after brain-computer interfaces become widespread. The education industry will cease to exist.

[@owenswabi]

Well, it’s not that it won’t exist, it’ll just be one entity dominating it

[@iq2823]

I think we are misunderstanding the word AI and capacity of Computing. Can you exemplify, what actually computer have replaced till date rather it just fastened the processes but not replaced the Humans. Did computer just reach even 0.1% to the Human Brain and will it reach there? Last but not least: Automation is not AI and AI can never replace Humans. Period!

[@godmisfortunatechild]

Yeah a whole lot more people will have access to quality education but very soon there won't be any value to that education economically. Thats the trade off they're not being transparent about.

[@iPediainteractivebooks]

The devises are dusted because the teachers don’t create appropriate material like simulations, videos and so forth to use in the classroom. So the students use these devises for playing games, watching movies etc. This is happening because educators and educational institutions have lost the ability to follow new technologies.

[@iPediainteractivebooks]

Khan Academy it’s really a very overrated website.

[@toddlichtenwalter2041]

Did she just say computers have been holding students back. WHAAAAT???

[@Koyasi78]

I actually agree. And I'm a computer science major with AI masters. It's not the computer per se, if we're talking about in general what computers bring to humanity. It's the lack of understanding in how to use the computer properly. For one, computers in classrooms have done a poor job of replacing the textbook. I saw this with my daughter during the pandemic where her first year of high school was on 2020. Then the horrible way schools used remote learning, they were totally unprepared. My child has no textbooks and her knowledge gap and those of her classmates is evident from when I went to school. So not really the computer, but just like a business, you have to a plan on how to use the technology to it's best ability.

[@toddlichtenwalter2041]

@@Koyasi78 So have you taught her how to use a computer properly? I would imagine you being a computer scientist, she would be an expert in knowledge management, research, and cognitive science-based learning strategies. Have you taught her how to use Notion for organization, study, and learning? I mean it is easy for you to blame her teachers, but what about you? Are you teaching her how to make her own AI Personal tutor assistant based on her own Knowledge resources (ChatGPT, Mind Studio etc.)? It is ironic that you, as a computer scientist, are complaining that her school teacher, who is not a computer expert like yourself, does not know how to use a computer properly. Get more involved in her life and start teaching her. As for remote learning, that happened quickly and the financial investments to deploy it top level, well society has proven they do not value education enough to invest the resources to make that happen (virtual reality meeting spaces e.g. Engage VR). Did you volunteer to go into her school and teach them how to do remote learning at the standards you were expecting by sharing your expertise? Sounds to me that you should try going in and teaching k12 and then see where your opinions reside.

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 !

[@lannyjr1042]

Hmm teachers might be redundant soon.

[@StefanEdlich]

No he says: "With AI assistants handling the mundane stuff, teachers can focus on what they do best: inspiring students, building relationships, and making sure everyone feels seen and supported-especially kids who need a little extra help"
