Khan Academy CEO predicts AI in the classroom will be like 5 'amazing graduate students' assisting teachers
""Imagine if your child's school district just discovered a billion dollars and they decided to hire some amazing graduate students to hang out in the classroom...""
""AI assistants could help alleviate the strain while also improving student engagement... They’ll be able to help children when needed and report back to the teacher.""
Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy, envisions AI in classrooms acting as essential teaching assistants rather than replacements for teachers. In a BBC interview, he illustrated a future where AI agents, much like graduate students, will assist in grading, monitoring student performance, and tailoring lesson plans based on individual interests. This innovation comes at a critical time as the U.S. faces a significant teacher shortage, with many educators leaving due to overwhelming workloads and low pay. Khan believes AI can help alleviate these challenges and enhance student engagement.
