August 27, 202436min 5sec

Cheating has never been easier with the rise of AI like ChatGPT. It's definitely something to worry about, but what do we know about the upsides of AI in education? Khan Academy founder Sal Khan says education won't destroy our kids' brains, but we have to integrate AI the right way. After launching a new chatbot, Khanmigo, Sal has found that AI opens up opportunities for students to learn in ways they couldn't before, leaving room for more creativity, deeper thinking and gained perspective. Sam and Bilawal discuss why AI seeping into the classroom is inevitable — and how to use it to our advantage.
