Brave New Words
Sal Khan
"Brave New Words" is a timely and optimistic manifesto by Salman Khan, the visionary founder of Khan Academy. While many educators fear that Artificial Intelligence will lead to mass cheating or the end of the teaching profession, Khan argues the opposite: AI is the tool that will finally humanize the classroom. Khan frames the AI revolution as the solution to "Bloom’s 2 Sigma Problem," a famous educational puzzle which showed that one-on-one tutoring allows students to perform two standard deviations better than those in traditional classrooms. Until now, giving every student a personal tutor was economically impossible. With tools like Khanmigo (Khan Academy's AI guide), Khan demonstrates how generative AI can act as a Socratic tutor for students—guiding them to answers rather than doing the work for them—and as a teaching assistant for educators, automating lesson planning and grading. Brave New Words argues that by offloading administrative drudgery to AI, we can free up teachers to do what they do best: provide human connection, mentorship, and inspiration.
