In this section, Sal Khan argues that rather than technology and AI being used by students to cheat in education, there is a way to utilize it towards the biggest positive transformation in education by giving every student and teacher a personal AI tutor and assistant. This he argues can be achieved by using AI tutors like Khanmigo that can record and moderate conversations, detect and identify misconceptions, and prompt students to explain their reasoning while providing helpful suggestions. Apart from math and programming, AI tutors can answer questions, quiz students, and connect ideas to other concepts, all whilst refining the performance of individual learners.
