About This Book

“A timely masterclass for anyone interested in the future of learning in the AI era.”—Bill Gates “This book is required reading for everyone who cares about education.”—Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential and Think Again , and host of the podcast Re:Thinking “Read this book. It’s the most fascinating and important account of how AI will transform the way we learn.”—Walter Isaacson, #1 New York Times bestselling author From the founder of Khan Academy, the first book on the AI revolution in education, its implications for parenting, and how we can best harness its power for good. Whether we like it or not, the AI revolution is coming to education.

In Brave New Words , Salman Khan, the visionary behind Khan Academy, explores how artificial intelligence and GPT technology will transform learning, and offers a road map for teachers, parents, and students to navigate this exciting (and sometimes intimidating) new world. A pioneer in the field of education technology, Khan examines the ins and outs of these cutting-edge tools and how they will revolutionize the way we learn and teach. For parents concerned about their children’s success, Khan illustrates how AI can personalize learning by adapting to each student’s individual pace and style, identifying strengths and areas for improvement, and offering tailored support and feedback to complement traditional classroom instruction.

Khan emphasizes that embracing AI in education is not about replacing human interaction but enhancing it with customized and accessible learning tools that encourage creative problem-solving skills and prepare students for an increasingly digital world. But Brave New Words is not just about technology—it’s about what this technology means for our society, and the practical implications for administrators, guidance counselors, and hiring managers who can harness the power of AI in education and the workplace. Khan also delves into the ethical and social implications of AI and large language models, offering thoughtful insights into how we can use these tools to build a more accessible education system for students around the world.

Over Simplification of how AI could improve education

I was involved in the development of early computer learning technology including the Logo programming language and high school tutorial software called Arrakis. These were in the early days of home computers. In both these experiences I discovered that like any tools, the impact was mostly dependent on the teacher integrating these tools into the learning environment. The subsequent research confirmed this. The examples provided in the book on how teachers could use AI, underestimates the effort required to integrate AI into the teaching environment. In classes with 25-30 students, personalization of AI generated materials and exercises requires a teacher to tailor AI content to the individual students abilities. This requires significant added work for the teacher. The book implies AI emulates “one on one” tutoring. I have used AI to help create exercises and problems in math and reading and this is not an easy task. Added to this is the frequent errors in the results. This requires close editing and checking. The book identifies student motivation as a factoring in learning. AI does not address this problem. Just because it is interactive doesn’t mean the student is motivated. When i used Khanmigo, the tutoring responses contained words that would be unfamiliar to the student I identified. As a result the advice was not understood by the student. The book promotes the Kahn system a great deal. The system does help like other systems such as IXL, but the AI addition is not as effective give as the book professes. Like many books recently written about AI, it is overly optimistic and does not provide in depth insights on how AI integrates within the current education environment. AI as a teacher’s tool is fine once the teacher experiences its capabilities and limitations for themselves. AI as a tutor as the book promotes is a stretch. A good tutor senses a student’s skills and challenges through observation. AI tutoring has no senses. It’s a one dimension statistical text generator. Beware using it for math. It makes errors which could easily frustrate a student.

First, I consider myself a lifelong learner and educator, licensed to be a secondary school principal, but choosing to remain in a public high school marketing classroom for 15 years, preparing youngsters for careers in marketing. From day one in the classroom, I saw those youngsters as winners and potential winners. My vision for those youngsters came true. Fast forward fifty years, I am reading Brave New Words and about how AI will improve our educational systems and processes by leaps and bounds, with the primary goal of meeting each student's needs in achievable ways. AI sets up amazing win/wins for students and their teachers, for students and their parents, and for teachers and the students' parents! As a plus-80-year-old, I am not a techie, per se, but I would be willing to learn what I needed to learn, to make these AI opportunities available to my students. Nothing would be more fulfilling than to see graduates walk across a high-school graduation stage accepting their diplomas with the knowledge and excitement of working in a career that matched their skills, aptitudes, abilities, and interests and being happier adults. Salman Khan is most deserving of a high honor in field of educational leadership, and I would even say, cultural transformation! Mr. Khan is an exemplary role model in the field of leadership, and our country is blessed to have him and his family.

The book is very interesting and inspiring but tells me very little about signing in and getting on, implementing the programming. I was only at 65% of the book's content when the narrative ended. What am I missing?
