One top headline in the AI space to know:
📚 AI Thriving in the Classroom — Kahn Academy’s Personal AI Tutor
Picture a future where every student has their very own world-class personal tutor.
Thanks to AI, we're inching closer to that reality — and Khan Academy's 'Khanmigo' bot is leading the way.
The platform (based on GPT-4) mimics one-on-one human tutoring — and is showing serious promise in transforming the classroom landscape.
Khanmigo is brilliant at breaking down complex problems into understandable steps, can handle a limitless range of subjects, and is able to adjust on the fly to how a student wants to learn. Need a math problem explained in Korean? Or want to learn from a simulated Winnie-the-Pooh? Khanmigo has you covered.
More importantly, chatting with AI eliminates some of the common pitfalls that hold learners back, such as a lack of personalization (AI can adapt to whatever style a student needs) or a fear of asking ‘dumb’ questions.
The AI advantage doesn't stop at students. Tools like Khanmigo can lighten the load for teachers too — assisting with lesson planning and giving educators more time to focus on what they do best.
“It’ll enable every student in the United States, and eventually on the planet, to effectively have a world-class personal tutor.”
And to be clear, Khanmigo isn’t alone. Here is a similar tool going viral right now from Synthesis:
Marc Andreessen recently tweeted “In our new era of AI: Every child will have an A.I. tutor that is infinitely patient, infinitely knowledgeable, infinitely helpful.”
That era is here.

Despite these positives, AI ‘hallucinations’ and incorrect answers still exist — underscoring the importance of checking and critiquing its responses for students.
But as the tech continues to evolve, the positives definitely shine a bright light on the potential future of AI in the educational world.
In the classrooms of the future, AI might just be the coolest 'kid' in school.
