How AI Will Impact the Future of Teachingβ€”a Conversation With Sal Khan The founder of Khan Academy and Khanmigo believes AI can deliver the personalized instruction students need, while freeing up teachers to do what they do best.

Sal Khan: "We are building toward a world where a teacher or a school can upload curriculum & academic standardsβ€”and then the AI can work with a teacher to plan the entire year to include not just scope and sequence, but pacing."
