SMARTEST TAKEAWAYS
How AI is Redefining Education

1️⃣ Personalized Learning: AI adapts to each student’s unique needs, offering real-time feedback and tailored exercises. Khan illustrates how this approach not only accelerates learning but also boosts understanding.

INSIGHTFUL EXAMPLE
How Khan Academy's AI Broke Language Barriers in Real-Time

When Khan Academy introduced its AI tutor, Khanmigo, in multilingual classrooms, it didn’t just translate lessons; it adapted explanations based on cultural nuances, making complex topics clearer.

Students who previously struggled to engage found themselves participating actively, with comprehension levels rising by 40%. Teachers noted that AI not only made learning more accessible but also created a sense of empowerment among students.

A QUOTE TO REMEMBER
AI as a Classroom Ally

“Rather than fear AI, we must learn to harness it as an aid that complements, not replaces, human interaction in the classroom.”
