The generative AI revolution has come to education. Salman Khan, the visionary behind Khan Academy with more than 150 million users, explores how artificial intelligence and GPT technology is already beginning to transform learning, offering a future roadmap for teachers, parents, and students to navigate this exciting (and sometimes intimidating) new world.
The leading pioneer in the world of education technology, Khan explains the ins and outs of these cutting-edge tools and how they will forever change the way we learn and teach. How learning can be transformed for good. Rather than approaching the ChatGPT revolution with white-knuckled fear, Khan wants parents and teachers to embrace AI and adapt to it (while acknowledging its imperfections and limitations). He emphasizes that embracing AI in education is not about replacing human interaction but enhancing it, so that every student can complement the work they're already doing in profoundly new and creative ways, to personalize learning, adapt assessments, and support success in the classroom, preparing students for an increasingly digital future.
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 counsellors, 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 generative AI, offering thoughtful insights into how we can use these tools to build a more accessible education system for students around the world.
A timely masterclass for anyone interested in the future of learning -- Bill Gates
Khan writes with a humanity that makes his book accessible and easy to read … a welcome riposte to the AI doom-mongers … makes a strong case for the extraordinary potential of AI for education while also acknowledging the importance of creating “guard rails” for children -- Rachel Sylvester * The Times *
A stunning vision for how artificial intelligence can transform education – not in twenty years, but today … Khan understands the interface of technology and education better than anyone -- Steven D. Levitt, author of Freakonomics
Read this book … Salman Khan is leading the way into an era in which every student – and everyone else – will have a personal tutor that will do for us what Aristotle did for Alexander the Great -- Walter Isaacson
A gripping guide to the future of learning -- Adam Grant
Salman Khan provides an invaluable guide for those seeking to understand and shape AI for good. This is a book about AI, education, and work, but the ideas are transferable to every domain -- Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI
It’s often said that we yearn for change yet cling to the familiar. Nowhere has this been more true nor more tragic than in the field of education. Now is the time to embrace change, and to do so bravely, as Salman Khan argues in this timely treatise on AI. Leaps forward in generative AI can and should change the way all of us learn. And I can think of no better guide to show us the way than Salman Khan -- Angela Duckworth, author of Grit: The Power and Passion of Perseverance
Salman Khan once thought he’d become an AI researcher. Instead, he became one of the most important educators of our time. Here, with incredible intelligence and perception, he shows how learners everywhere can harness AI and other technologies for their own productivity and entrepreneurship. There are no braver words than these -- Satya Nadella, executive chairman and CEO of Microsoft
There’s no doubt in my mind that Salman Khan is the leading thinker about education in the age of AI. In Brave New Words, he offers deep insights into how AI can be a catalyst for creativity and a tool for unleashing student potential. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the future of learning and technology -- Francis Ford Coppola
Education is the route to professional and personal fulfilment, a liberation of the mind from ignorance and a pathway to achievement. AI has today opened this possibility in new and profound ways. And rather than fear this change, by embracing it everyone can have a world-class tutor providing learning built around the needs of every individual. This requires a bold leap of imagination in what is possible in education. But as Salman Khan brilliantly lays out, this is a necessary and healthy change to a status quo that is too stuck in the past. It is a leap we must take -- Tony Blair
